SECURITY & COMPLIANCE
Compliance Built In. Not Layered On Top.
Confidence starts with a strong foundation.
Octra’s security and compliance framework is embedded within the core infrastructure rather than added through separate modules or third-party integrations. PCI DSS, PCI PIN, GDPR, DORA and ISO-aligned controls are built into the platform by design, helping institutions reduce compliance complexity while accelerating deployment and operational readiness.
Standards
& Frameworks
Designed for regulated environments from day one
PCI DSS
Platform-level PCI DSS certification. Clients building on Octra inherit the compliance posture significantly reducing audit scope and remediation cost.
PCI PIN
PIN transaction security standards supported for POS, SoftPOS and ATM-adjacent use cases.
GDPR
Data handling architecture aligned to GDPR requirements. Geographic data residency controls for EU and UK data localisation obligations.
DORA (EU)
Digital Operational Resilience Act compliance architecture ICT risk management, incident classification, and operational continuity frameworks.
ISO 27001
Information security management system aligned to ISO 27001 standards across Octra infrastructure.
ISO 27701
Privacy information management extension to ISO 27001, covering personal data processing governance
ISO 22301

MDES / VTS
Mastercard MDES and Visa Token Service compatible. Scheme tokenisation mandate requirements met natively.
Multi-Jurisdiction Regulatory Coverage
Built for global operations. Adapted for local requirements.
Operating across multiple regions requires more than technical compliance. It requires an understanding of local regulatory frameworks, scheme requirements and operational expectations.
Octra has designed an infrastructure that supports institutions operating across established and emerging markets, helping simplify regulatory alignment across jurisdictions.
Global
Visa and Mastercard global scheme compliance standards.
Europe
PSD2, GDPR, DORA, Bank of Italy regulations and MFSA compliance frameworks.
Africa
Support for central bank requirements across operating African markets.
GCC
UAE CBUAE, Saudi SAMA, Kuwait CBK and other Gulf central bank requirements.
Why This Matters
Spend less time managing compliance. More time building solutions.
By embedding compliance, security and resilience directly into the platform, Octra helps institutions reduce implementation complexity, streamline audits and focus resources on innovation rather than infrastructure management.
