In payments, trust is everything. And nothing signals trust more than robust, verifiable compliance. At BridgerPay, we believe compliance shouldn't be a cost center or an afterthought it should be a competitive edge. That’s why we’ve built our platform from the ground up to align with the world’s most rigorous data and payment security standards.

From PCI DSS Level 1 certification to GDPR alignment and DORA readiness, BridgerPay helps businesses stay secure, scalable, and audit-ready, without the overhead of building their own infrastructure.


PCI DSS Level 1: The gold standard for payment security

As a PCI DSS Level 1 certified platform, BridgerPay meets the highest possible standards for securing cardholder data. This includes:

Annual third-party audits

Quarterly network scans

Strong encryption (both at rest and transit) (AES-256, TLS 1.3)

Secure tokenization vaults

Fully managed PCI scope reduction for our merchants

24/7 Security Monitoring

Security Awareness of Staff

Penetration Testing

Our PCI-compliant checkout flows, tokenization tools, and orchestration engine give you all the benefits of secure payments - with none of the compliance burden.


GDPR and global data privacy

Operating globally means respecting data privacy across regions. BridgerPay supports full GDPR compliance by design:

Consent and data collection policies

Right-to-access and right-to-be-forgotten tools

Data localization and encrypted storage

Real-time access controls for merchants and users

Whether you're operating in Europe, LATAM, APAC, or beyond, our platform ensures personal data is treated with the care and transparency today’s users expect.


Operational resilience and DORA alignment

The upcoming EU DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) will impose strict requirements on ICT systems, incident response, and operational continuity. We’re already aligned:

High-availability cloud infrastructure (Google Cloud platform)

Real-time monitoring and incident response workflows

Full audit trails and change logs

Strong third-party risk management

Our merchants can scale confidently knowing their payment stack is ready for evolving regulatory landscapes.
