“The standard is a set of 12 detailed requirements to ensure the security of payment card holders’ data, which are transmitted, stored and processed in the information structures of organizations. Its availability evidences a high-level protection and seller’s services, i.e. secure purchases made by online users”, as MEGOGO explains.

However, it is strategically important for us to facilitate step by step the content access to our users and to guarantee them a high-level protection of personal data and a secure use of online services. In addition, the approval of our operating principles by the international payment systems means the maturity of our service and high responsibility to our users. PCI DSS is a technical recognition of high security standards of our online cinema”, as stated by Ivan Shestakov, Marketing Director at MEGOGO.
