[PRESS RELEASE – Warsaw, Poland]

PlasBit, a cryptocurrency platform based in Warsaw, Poland, has successfully upgraded its compliance to align with the latest Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 4.0.1.

The company has overhauled its entire security infrastructure to achieve compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v4.0.1 (Certification No. 13AC-24PC-5840). This Level 1 certification is the highest international standard for the protection of payment card data and illustrates that PlasBit manages sensitive information with a security level equivalent to that required by major financial institutions.

“We achieved PCI DSS v4.0.1 certification (No. 13AC-24PC-5840), the global standard for cardholder data protection. Our systems meet strict financial institution standards. This exemplifies our privacy-first approach, positioning PlasBit as a trusted crypto platform.🔐 Link”

PCI DSS is devised by key payment networks, including Visa and Mastercard. This global standard is aimed at securing cardholder data and further minimizing fraud.

Version 4.0.1 represents the most advanced evolution of the standard, adapting to today’s digital environment. It augments risk management, enhances monitoring, and provides businesses increased flexibility in meeting security requirements, while mandating ongoing scrutiny rather than one-off compliance.

Becoming one of the few cryptocurrency companies to achieve this certification solidifies PlasBit’s reputation as a reliable Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP). Furthermore, it mirrors the company’s commitment to a privacy-first mission.

Data protection and financial autonomy are integral to the PlasBit ecosystem, not an afterthought. Every measure taken by PlasBit - from advanced encryption to managing its own infrastructure - emphasizes that users should retain control over their wealth without compromising security or privacy.

This achievement also reaffirms the team’s core philosophy of remaining entirely independent and self-funded. They maintain their own infrastructure, develop technology internally, and oversee compliance processes.

This independence, guided by cypherpunk principles resisting unwarranted centralization, ensures that the focus remains on safeguarding users over serving external interests.

Achieving PCI DSS V4.0.1 is not merely a final goal, but part of a continuous journey. Security needs to evolve constantly, and PlasBit is committed to adapting, enhancing, and aligning with global standards while adhering to its foundational principles of privacy, independence, and security.
