OVIO Data Center Achieves PCI DSS Security Certification

2025-04-15

OVIO’s Data Center has been awarded a certificate of compliance with the international Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 4.0.1, covering both cloud and colocation services.
PCI DSS is a globally recognized and authoritative standard that certifies the highest level of security for storing, processing, and transmitting cardholder data.

The assessment was conducted by the independent and reputable audit firm Card Security LLC. The scope included OVIO Cloud, a virtual infrastructure based on VMware technologies, which allows organizations to securely deploy servers and networks for cardholder data operations. The certification also covers colocation services, which provide physical space in the data center equipped with access control, video surveillance systems, security protocols, and identification mechanisms.

Key areas covered by the PCI DSS assessment included:

• Physical security enforcement mechanisms
• Management of surveillance and access control systems
• Information security governance and awareness programs
• Management of VMware virtual infrastructure
• Management of network infrastructure and data protection tools
• Vulnerability detection and incident response processes

“Achieving PCI DSS certification is an important milestone for us. It reflects our company’s consistent approach to protecting even the most sensitive data of our clients in full compliance with international standards.

We remain committed to continuously developing OVIO’s data center capabilities and enhancing our services, including cloud solutions — creating a reliable and secure environment for organizations and institutions where data protection is mission-critical,” said Hayk Faramazyan, General Director of OVIO.

As a result of the assessment, OVIO was confirmed to be fully compliant with all PCI DSS v4.0.1 requirements and received “Compliant” status.
