Tessell, the multi-cloud database-as-a-service (DBaaS) platform helping enterprises modernize databases and applications at scale, announced that it has successfully achieved Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 4.1 certification, the most rigorous standard for securing cardholder data globally. This milestone marks a significant advancement in Tessell’s mission to provide enterprise-grade security and compliance for customers operating in highly regulated industries.

PCI DSS 4.1 introduces stronger authentication, continuous risk assessments, and adaptive security requirements, raising the bar for any cloud provider handling sensitive data. Tessell’s early certification signals its enterprise-readiness and platform maturity.
