Travelport’s new PCI DSS Certification Wizard Tool would change how agents deal with customer credit information and work through a simple streamlined process, says Sandeep Dwivedi, Chief Operating Officer, InterGlobe Technology Quotient.
Travelport has launched the new PCI DSS Certification Wizard Tool to streamline processes for agents. “The PCI DSS Certification has been launched to help all customers achieve PCI DSS certification before March 31, 2018 through a simple, low cost and stream lined process. This certification is necessary for IATA certified travel agencies to combat criminal activity that is critical when dealing with customer credit card information. From March 2018, any IATA agent who accepts card transactions against its own merchant agreement or issues Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) card transactions is required to provide proof of PCI DSS compliance to IATA,” says Sandeep Dwivedi, Chief Operating Officer, InterGlobe Technology Quotient.
