MANAMA: LuLu Hypermarket, the leading regional retail chain, this week received international recognition for the robust data security environment that it has in place throughout its chain of nine retail outlets in Bahrain and for its growing online shopping offerings.
Crossbow Labs, the leading cybersecurity compliance and certification body in the region, issued the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Certification of Compliance to LuLu Hypermarket.
The certificate was received by LuLu Group director Juzer Rupawala, presented by Crossbow Labs chief executive Deepak Umapathy in the presence of senior management of Lulu Group International.
The awarding of the PCI-DSS Certification from Crossbow Labs, one of the leading cyber security compliance and certification bodies in the region, is a significant achievement for LuLu Hypermarket and an acknowledgement of the stringent security practices the hypermarket employs to secure customers’ payment transaction, information and other personal data, across all its stores in Bahrain.
“As LuLu continues to grow in Bahrain and as customers opt for digital payment methods and online shopping, we are keenly aware of our growing responsibility towards their cybersecurity,” Mr Rupawala said. “This certification is LuLu Hypermarket’s assurance to customers that we are fully compliant with all PCI-DSS standards and also provides customers with a layer of assurance that the details of their transactions are securely handled.”
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is an information security standard for organisations that handle branded credit cards from the major card schemes. The PCI Standard is mandated by the card brands but administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council.
