Miami, Florida / Toronto, Canada (October 1, 2024)

Datatel, a leading provider of Secure Payment Technology, is proud to announce that it has become the first Managed Service Provider (MSP) of Source Defense solutions in Canada. This partnership marks a significant milestone in the Canadian payment security landscape, offering merchants of all sizes the industry’s leading eSkimming security solution under a fully managed model to address critical PCI DSS Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1.

PCI Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 become mandatory for merchants of all sizes on March 31, 2025. PCI 4.0 requires that merchants protect their websites and the consumers they serve against all forms of client-side security incidents including eSkimming, keylogging, formjacking, digital skimming, Magecart, and many others. PCI DSS compliance remains a top priority for businesses handling payment information. Datatel’s partnership with Source Defense introduces a powerful, scalable solution, built by the pioneer in client-side security, that ensures compliance and enhances security for merchants of all sizes across Canada.
