At the center of the money, at the center of the threat
Payment gateways and processors handle cardholder data at volume, which makes them a permanent target. PCI DSS governs how that data is stored, transmitted, and protected — and for India, the RBI guidelines for Payment Aggregators and Payment Gateways add licensing-grade obligations on top. Tokenization and key management are not features here; they are the difference between a contained event and a reportable breach.
Alpha CISO secures the processors, aggregators, and gateways that the payment ecosystem runs through.
How we help
- PCI DSS readiness. Scope your environment honestly, reduce it where possible, and keep your compliance position defensible between assessments.
- RBI PA/PG alignment. Map controls to the RBI's data storage, audit, and security expectations for aggregators serving India.
- Tokenization and key management. Review how card data is tokenized, stored, and keyed so the crown jewels stay out of reach.
- Fraud-aware design. Examine transaction and API flows where fraud and abuse concentrate.
Compliance that survives an assessment
A clean report once a year is not the goal. We build controls that hold between assessments and stand up when an incident tests them.
