CSB Global, through its active participation in leading international associations in Europe and its engagement with prominent groups in the industrial and new technology sectors, has established a strategic alliance with a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) duly authorised and recognised by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).
Through this collaboration, CSB Global enables its clients to access validation services for compliance and adoption of the PCI DSS standard, as well as its complementary ecosystem (PCI PIN, PCI 3DS, PCI Card Production). These services are delivered directly by the QSA entity, ensuring that each assessment is conducted with the highest standards of independence, technical rigour, and adherence to the international guidelines established by the PCI SSC.
In this capacity, CSB Global acts solely as a commercial partner and service representative, facilitating access for organisations across Europe, the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean to PCI DSS validation processes carried out to the highest levels of quality and reliability.
CSB Global is not a QSA and does not provide PCI DSS certification services. All validation and compliance assessment services are performed exclusively by the QSA entity authorised by the PCI SSC.
