Kohezion’s Enterprise-Level Accounts Are Now PCI Compliant, Providing a Secure, Compliant Database Platform for Healthcare, Government, and Finance Organizations
GATINEAU, Quebec – March 28, 2025 – Kohezion, a leading provider of no-code online database software, today announced that its Enterprise-level accounts have achieved compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This means Kohezion’s enterprise offering meets the stringent security requirements for processing credit card transactiond, reinforcing its standing as a secure enterprise database platform for large organizations. PCI DSS is a widely adopted security standard designed to ensure that organizations who handle credit card data maintain a secure environment. By meeting these standards, Kohezion can securely process payment data in line with industry best practices – a significant assurance for enterprises that handle sensitive customer information. Achieving PCI compliance not only helps prevent data breaches but also fosters trust among customers and stakeholders, demonstrating Kohezion’s commitment to the highest levels of data security.
What is PCI DSS Compliance?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an industry-wide framework of policies and technical requirements aimed at protecting credit card information and reducing fraud. In practice, PCI DSS compliance requires robust encryption, access controls, network monitoring, and other security measures whenever credit card data is handled. In other words, organizations that are PCI DSS compliant must adhere to strict guidelines to safeguard cardholder data at all times.
For Kohezion’s enterprise users, this certification guarantees that the platform has been vetted against these rigorous standards. Kohezion’s Enterprise plan is now certified to meet the latest PCI DSS requirements (currently PCI DSS 4.0), ensuring that enterprises using Kohezion can confidently manage payments in a highly secure environment. This development is especially important for companies in regulated sectors – they can rely on Kohezion to help maintain compliance and protect sensitive financial information as they build custom database applications.
Strengthening Security for Enterprise Users in Regulated Sectors
Kohezion’s new PCI compliance further strengthens its position as a secure database platform for industries that handle sensitive data, including healthcare, government, and finance. Enterprises in these sectors face strict regulations and cannot compromise on data security. With the PCI DSS compliance in place, Kohezion now becomes an even more attractive solution for such regulated industries.
Kohezion was already designed for high-security use cases – the company notes that “HIPAA is built at Kohezion’s core,” ensuring compliance for protecting healthcare data. The addition of PCI DSS compliance expands Kohezion’s security credentials beyond healthcare, broadening its appeal to financial services, government agencies, and any organization processing payment information. Enterprise clients can leverage Kohezion as a one-stop platform for multiple compliance needs, since it now supports both healthcare data rules and payment data standards. This comprehensive approach to compliance positions Kohezion as a leader in enterprise data compliance solutions, offering peace of mind to organizations that must meet various regulatory requirements while managing large volumes of data.
