With digital transactions surging worldwide, data privacy has become mission-critical. Especially in the high-risk, high-volume environment of digital payments.
At SISA, we’ve spent over 18 years doing more than consulting, we’ve been on the frontlines of global payment data breaches. That means our privacy solutions don’t just tick boxes, they reflect the risks we’ve seen firsthand.
We help organizations identify, classify, and remediate sensitive data with unmatched accuracy, thanks to our frontline knowledge of how and where payment data is compromised, gained through years of payment breach investigations.
Our hands-on investigations reveal how sensitive data is actually compromised-giving us unmatched clarity into vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and real-world privacy failures. This insight informs every solution we deliver.
From GDPR and DPDP to PCI DSS and CCPA, we help you align with major privacy regulations while tailoring frameworks to your specific industry and geography.
