Gateway Provider 5thDL.com Achieves 2.0 PCI Compliance

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today in a communication to their merchant partners, global sales force and technology providers 5th Dimension Logistics, LLC.  (5thDL.com) announced that it has attained level one Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) 2.0 certification, making it possibly the first payment gateway in the world to accomplish such notable status and rigorous security protocols.

The PCI Standard is the result of a collaborative effort formed by the five major credit card companies (Visa International, MasterCard Worldwide, American Express, Discover Financial Services and JCB) to cultivate a well-organized methodology to protecting sensitive payment and consumer data and for the prevention of electronic payment fraud. All merchants, entities and software solutions that process, store or disseminate electronic payment data must be PCI DSS compliant. The penalties for not doing so are substantial fines and possibly losing their ability to process electronic payments.

5th Dimension's level one compliant system (5thDL.com) provides online merchants with a secure and dependable solution that helps streamline payment transaction processing, while providing world-class fraud prevention tools. As the only gateway provider of the United States military's private label credit card, 5thDL.com has distinguished itself as a market leader in security, performance and customer satisfaction. Their flexible payment protocols allow merchants to process all major card brands, perform tokenized recurring billing as well as set up and manage payment plans such as layaway accounts.

"We want to thank K3DES and their diligent auditors for their meticulous examination of our systems and protocols," remarked Matanda Doss, Senior Vice President of Technology for 5th Dimension. K3DES performed the audit and provided the attestation of compliance. K3DES is approved by the PCI Security Standards Council as a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and is an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV), approved to perform the quarterly perimeter network vulnerability scans required by PCI. Doss also thanked customers for their support during the campaign to attain PCI 2.0 accreditation.
