The Linked2u Difference
Data handling is an important consideration when you outsource your business services. We are sensitive to this essential concern, which is why we take every possible care to guarantee the absolute confidentiality, integrity and availability of information we process, transact, and store. As a multinational company, we comply with the various data security regulations required by the different jurisdictions in which we operate.
Information Security Program
We maintain continuous compliance at our delivery centers. We provide PCI DSS Level 1 compliance operations for a range of clients with North American regulatory requirements plus Banking Level Regulatory Standard for Customers information management and storage.
Card Data Environment
Our facilities are staffed with professionals who are within the local quarantine zones to ensure that our certified programs are delivered from our secure card data environment, avoiding information security risks associated with telecommuting.
