Office Beacon, a global provider of outsourcing and managed services, has successfully attained PCI DSS v4.0.1 Level 1 Service Provider certification, the highest security standard for handling sensitive cardholder data, further establishing its role as a secure sub-processor for enterprise clients worldwide.
The comprehensive audit, conducted by an accredited Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), spanned multiple geographies, including Office Beacon’s facilities in India, the Philippines, and its new facility in Johannesburg, South Africa. This certification ensures that enterprise partners can confidently outsource critical operations while maintaining full compliance with PCI DSS guidelines.
Pranav Dalal, CEO of Office Beacon, stated, “This milestone highlights our leadership in providing secure global services. A special thanks to our operations, security, and compliance teams for making this possible.”
Key advancements supporting this achievement include the deployment of multi-layered security infrastructure, such as XDR and SIEM monitoring, unified endpoint protection hardened with JAMF and MDR tools, and zero-trust access controls across client environments. Office Beacon has also implemented rigorous internal frameworks, including its Written Information Security Program (WISP), to ensure consistent governance and risk management across its hybrid IT infrastructure spanning three continents.
Hemal Mewada, CISO of Office Beacon, commented, “Achieving PCI DSS Level 1 as a sub-processor demonstrates our unwavering commitment to security, governance, and client success. I’m proud of our team’s dedication and thankful for the support from our leadership team.”
This achievement complements Office Beacon’s existing compliance portfolio, which includes SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and CPRA (CCPA). These frameworks collectively reflect the company’s maturity in managing complex regulatory requirements and its transparent approach to cybersecurity. The certification also marks a significant step forward for Office Beacon’s enterprise relationships, with Custom Ink becoming the first strategic engagement under this enhanced compliance framework.
As global data security regulations continue to tighten, this milestone aims to reduce vendor risk and audit overhead, assuring clients that outsourcing to Office Beacon aligns with strict security compliance standards. With this initial Level 1 certification and expanded global coverage, Office Beacon is positioned to deliver secure, compliant operations at scale for industries subject to stringent regulations.
