Case Study: ACI Worldwide achieves PCI DSS 4.0 compliance and stronger payment data security with comforte data protection

ACI Worldwide strengthens PCI DSS 4.0 compliance with comforte and protects PANs with field-level tokenization

ACI Worldwide, a global provider of real-time digital payment software and solutions, faced significant challenges in securing sensitive payment data and meeting the stringent new requirements of PCI DSS 4.0 for their Retail Payments Solutions (RPS) using BASE24-eps on AIX and Linux systems. Traditional security methods like disk encryption were insufficient, leaving data exposed and potentially degrading performance in their high-transaction environments. To address this, ACI partnered with comforte to implement their TAMUNIO Protect data-centric security solution.

By integrating comforte's field-level tokenization and encryption, ACI RPS can now protect all sensitive payment data at rest, ensuring full PCI DSS 4.0 compliance. The solution from comforte provided seamless integration with BASE24-eps, maintaining high performance and scalability with minimal latency. This resulted in stronger security, simplified auditing, and the ability to perform secure analytics on tokenized data without exposure, effectively future-proofing their payment systems against evolving threats and regulations.
