Case Study: FreshBooks simplifies PCI compliance and boosts availability with Deft

How FreshBooks simplified PCI compliance processes and bolstered its availability with Deft

FreshBooks, a cloud accounting software company, faced a time-consuming challenge with its annual PCI DSS compliance audit. Maintaining its own compliant, air-gapped environment for credit card processing required significant internal effort. To simplify this process, they partnered with vendor Deft and used its cloud services to migrate their payment application.

Deft implemented a solution that isolated payment data into its PCI-compliant cloud, transferring the burden of many security controls. This not only streamlined the audit process for FreshBooks but also improved their system's availability with auto-scaling and a multi-region disaster recovery setup. The results included significant time savings, reduced infrastructure costs, and guaranteed uninterrupted service for customers during peak times or potential outages.
