For a provider of banking systems as well as for financial institutions, specific requirements exist that have to be met so that the applications made available can be approved for using.

The key aspect is data security area, including clients’ personal data and a guarantee of data recovery in the event of their loss. Equally significant is the need for continuous provision of availability of systems and application, also in case of unforeseen events, such as a natural disaster or a hacking attack.

SoftNet provides over 140 Cooperative Banks with its systems, therefore it is obligated to guarantee compliance with all standards and guidelines of the regulators, such as for example PFSA (The Polish Financial Supervision Authority. This area frequently undergoes controls, and the company needs to take care of the adaptation to the changing law and regulations on a continuous basis. That is why SoftNet decided to establish cooperation with Polcom, one of the most modern data centers in Poland that specializes in the compliance provision.

More and more institutions, regardless of the industry, decide to avail themselves of the solutions offered by specialized data processing centers.

The main reason is the provision of international security and quality standards by such type of suppliers.

Such companies as SoftNet are subject to regular controls and have to meet an array of conditions so that their systems can be made available in banks. Cooperation with a data center facilitates adaptation to these requirements. Polcom has been certified within the scope of an appropriate security level of processing of bank card owners’ personal data – PCI DSS. Additionally, it has international certificates, including ISO 27001, ISO 27017. It also meets the EU directives PSD2 and the GDPR requirements.

Thanks to that SoftNet is able to provide its customers with the highest data and application security level without the need to conduct additional specializations within this area. Together with Polcom, the company creates solutions for the banking sector which help institutions meet the guidelines of financial regulators, including PFSA, and protect them against cybercrime.
