Link Corporation, which develops the cloud service “PCI DSS Ready Cloud” that promotes PCI DSS compliance, is strengthening its business partnership in credit card security measures with Serverworks Corporation, a cloud integrator specializing in Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Background of the business partnership
In recent years, the expansion of cashless payments and the acceleration of digitalization have made PCI DSS compliance increasingly important for companies that handle credit card information. In particular, there has been an increase in demand for migration from traditional on-premise environments to cloud environments, and building PCI DSS-compliant systems on AWS in particular has been attracting attention.
However, achieving PCI DSS compliance in a cloud environment requires advanced technical capabilities for meeting security requirements and operations. Furthermore, implementation in an AWS environment requires specialized knowledge for selecting, building, and operating appropriate security components. Therefore, service providers such as card companies, payment processing companies, BPO companies, and e-commerce cart operators who need to comply with PCI DSS are increasingly requesting support from specialized partners who are familiar with both credit card security and cloud technology.

In response to this situation, Serverworks, an AWS Premier Tier Service Partner that operates a cloud business specializing in AWS, and Link, which provides the PCI DSS-compliant cloud service “PCI DSS Ready Cloud” and has extensive experience in credit card security, have partnered to support PCI DSS compliance for businesses that offer cashless payment services on AWS.
Through this business alliance, the two companies will offer a “PCI DSS All-in-One Package,” a total service that provides the necessary mechanisms for PCI DSS compliance on AWS. By combining Serverworks‘ credit card security services in the AWS environment with Link‘s PCI DSS-compliant cloud services, businesses that handle credit card information will be provided with a comprehensive PCI DSS-compliant environment on AWS.
