Adyen officially joins the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC)
We’re excited to announce that Adyen officially joins the PCI SSC as a Principal Participating Organization (PPO).
At Adyen, we believe robust security is more than just compliance — it’s the foundation of a frictionless, scalable global payment ecosystem.
We’re proud to announce a major milestone on our journey to achieving this mission:
Adyen has officially joined the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) as a Principal Participating Organization (PPO).
Shaping the future of global security standards
For the past three years, Adyen has served as an Associate Participating Organization on the PCI SSC Board of Advisors. We were selected by our industry peers for two consecutive terms (2023–2027) to ensure security standards evolve at the same pace as modern commerce.
Moving to the Principal level is the next step. As a PPO, the highest level of membership within the Council, we now have a strategic opportunity to deepen our impact on global payment security.
Bridging the gap between security and operations
The payments landscape is ever-changing; as it evolves, so do the threats. In our new role, we’ll work directly with the Council’s Executive Committee and leadership to shape the frameworks that protect businesses and consumers worldwide.
Our primary goal as a PPO is to bring our merchants’ real-world operational experiences directly to the Council. By providing direct, hands-on input into key initiatives, we aim to bridge the gap between rigorous security requirements and the practical needs of the growing businesses we serve.
We are dedicated to keeping future payments safe from new threats. Our security stays easy to use and grows with your business, so you can focus on moving forward without the extra hassle.
