Loylty Rewardz Achieves PCI DSS v4.0.1 Certification, Setting a New Security Benchmark for India’s Loyalty Industry

First loyalty management company in India to receive official PCI DSS certification — following a rigorous audit by QRC Assurance and Solutions.

MUMBAI, April 21, 2026 — Loylty Rewardz, a leading provider of customer engagement and loyalty solutions, today announced it has successfully achieved the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v4.0.1 certification. The certification followed a highly rigorous auditing process conducted by QRC Assurance and Solutions.

Loylty Rewardz is the first loyalty management company in India to be officially PCI DSS certified. This milestone reinforces its commitment to safeguarding payment data with the highest global standards. The PCI DSS, issued by the PCI Security Standards Council, provides a strict baseline of technical and operational requirements for any entity that processes, stores, or transmits payment card data.

The comprehensive engagement required Loylty Rewardz to demonstrate a resilient payment security environment through advanced access management, continuous monitoring, meticulous logging, and highly secure system configurations. The exhaustive audit confirms that the company has moved beyond reactive security measures to a deeply preventive control framework around all of its payment operations.

“Security isn’t just a milestone for us; it’s a standard we want to operate by. For an organization that processes data daily, undergoing this rigorous certification process isn’t just about compliance. It’s about building trust among our stakeholders with every transaction, every reward, and every experience. With evolving cyber threats, our focus remains constant: stronger controls, sharper monitoring, and systems designed to stay ahead.”

— Amresh Acharya, Managing Director & CEO, Loylty Rewardz

The successful completion of this audit was the result of focused execution by the Loylty Rewardz Information Security team, working in close collaboration with Qualified Security Assessors (QSA) from QRC Assurance and Solutions.

“In any payment ecosystem, protecting cardholder data is a fundamental responsibility, not a choice. Effective payment security goes beyond implementing controls — it requires demonstrable evidence that controls are properly designed, consistently operating, and continuously monitored. This certification reflects Loylty Rewardz’s disciplined approach and commitment to safeguarding sensitive payment information.”

— Vamsi Krishna M., Founder & CEO, QRC Assurance and Solutions

By successfully navigating this stringent certification process, Loylty Rewardz assures its banking partners, retail brands, and millions of end-users that their data is processed within a heavily fortified, continuously monitored, and globally certified environment.
