Olla Systems, a leading provider of cloud and IT infrastructure solutions, has achieved Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) certification – an internationally recognized benchmark for safeguarding cardholder data.
This milestone underscores Olla Systems’ commitment to the highest standards of information security and regulatory compliance, particularly for clients in the financial services, e-commerce, and digital payments sectors.
PCI DSS is a globally mandated standard designed to protect cardholder data during processing, storage, and transmission.
Achieving this certification demonstrates that Olla Systems has implemented rigorous security controls, including network protection, data encryption, access management, monitoring, and vulnerability management – all designed to reduce risk and prevent data breaches.
“With PCI DSS certification, we’re reinforcing our role as a trusted infrastructure partner for businesses that handle sensitive financial information: financial institutions, manufacturing companies, government entities, fast-growth startups and fintechs, among many others,” said Mrs. Olusola Adenuga, chief executive officer, Olla Systems. “It’s not just about compliance – it’s about providing peace of mind to our clients that their data is protected by globally accepted security best practices.”
The certification positions OllaCloud, the company’s flagship enterprise-grade cloud platform, as an ideal solution for fintechs, digital banks, payment processors, and online merchants looking to meet stringent regulatory requirements without compromising on performance, availability, or scalability.
Purpose-built to serve regulated industries and high-growth businesses, OllaCloud offers secure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) across Nigeria, enabling clients to confidently migrate workloads, launch compliant applications, and scale operations while ensuring end-to-end data protection.
“As we continue to support Africa’s digital economy, PCI DSS compliance helps us better serve organizations in need of infrastructure that meets both their growth ambitions and their regulatory responsibilities, and doing this while being able to pay in local currency,” Mrs. Adenuga added.
With this certification, Olla Systems reaffirms its mission to deliver secure, high-performance, and locally compliant cloud infrastructure for businesses across Africa and the Middle East.
As cybersecurity threats grow and regulatory demands increase, clients can rely on Olla Systems for resilient, enterprise-grade solutions built on trust, transparency, and global best practices.
