The move reinforces [MoonPay’s](https://www.moonpay.com/) reputation for rigorous payment security in the crypto space.

The updated PCI DSS 4.0.1 framework does not introduce new requirements but refines the original standard, clarifying intent, improving guidance, and helping organizations implement security measures more consistently.

## Building on an Industry-Leading Security Portfolio

This recertification builds on MoonPay’s already extensive security portfolio, which includes **SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27018, and ISO 27701 certifications**, making it one of the most comprehensive compliance frameworks in the crypto industry.

> _Re-certifying under PCI DSS 4.0.1 reflects our continued commitment to security excellence. As the standard evolves, so do we — staying ahead of changes so our customers can transact with confidence._

## Expanding Secure Crypto Payments

The certification comes as MoonPay continues to expand its crypto payment infrastructure, offering users a secure, reliable way to buy and sell digital assets.
