Aug. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- Mumbai, August, 2012: Bigtree Entertainment's BookMyShow.com, the largest entertainment ticketing portal in India, has been recently awarded the PCI- DSS certificate of compliance v2.0 from SISA. BookMyShow.com received the prestigious certificate for being one among the esteemed e-commerce organizations to introduce high level security standards, safeguarding and securing customers’ card information.
Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards ensure the cardholder's information is sufficiently secure and protected by an organization. This industry-wide standard aims to increase protection against card frauds by limiting exposure of secure data when using any major debit, credit, prepaid and e-wallet for transactions.

On this proud moment, Mr. Ashish Hemrajani, CEO BookMyShow.com said; “BookMyShow.com is the first entertainment e-commerce portal in India to receive the PCI certification. BookMyShow.com has over 90% market share in the online entertainment ticketing space, clearly making us the market leaders. We always maintain customer security and as our core value is to ensure a ‘hassle free ticket booking experience’; it was imperative to follow global security standards. The PCI compliance certificate thus helped us create a completely safe and secure transaction model.”
Mr. Dharshan Shanthamurthy, CEO, SISA Information Security, further explains how SISA’s unique ‘three in the box’ methodology helps organizations to meet the stringency of the PCI DSS standard in a structured manner as in the case of BookMyShow.com (Bigtree Entertainment Pvt. Ltd). He mentioned “The SISA Qualified Security Assessors (QSA) have worked closely with BookMyShow.com to ensure  practical and cost-effective solutions, and their implementation. SISA has years of expertise in conducting the PCI-DSS assessment and certification audit across the globe for the various well-known players in similar vertical.”
In terms of transaction volumes, VISA recently honored BookMyShow.com as the largest e-commerce entertainment ticketing portal in the complete Asia Pacific region. Acquiring the PCI Certificate will now enable BookMyShow.com to reach out to skeptics of online transactions.
PCI Data Security Standard is developed by PCI Security Standard Council, a group of card brands in the world including Visa, MasterCard, Amex, JCB and Discover.
