Miami, FL: Caveau, the all-in-one software platform custom-built for the travel industry for safeguarding sensitive data exchanged at the point of transaction is providing businesses around the world with fast and affordable solutions for achieving GDPR and PCI DSS compliance. With looming deadlines on May 25 and June 30, 2018, respectfully, hotels and agencies are looking for efficient ways to meet strict new requirements going into effect. Most recently, the company announced it is working with Aparto Suites Muralto, an "All Suites" hotel service in Madrid, Spain, to assist in bridging the gap in its credit card collection process, specifically in transactions made directly to the hotel by telephone, email or fax.

José Luis Alonso, the Director of Aparto Suites Muralto, is charged with adapting all procedures and structures to meet the latest tourism business standards. According to Alonso, it was a struggle to find a provider who understood their need for a GDPR and PCI DSS-compliant method to collect credit card details but not automatically take the payment when guaranteeing client reservation. "After months of searching, I couldn't find a solution that was not a payment gateway through a bank and linked to the web page. Since our problem was unique to the hospitality industry, Caveau were the only ones that understood what I needed," he says.

Within a matter of days, Caveau was able to deliver the tools Aparto Suites Muralto required to collect and protect its client's credit card data no matter the method it's provided. Says Caveau CSO, Brian Dass, "This was another case of our experience and understanding of the travel space coming into play in helping hotels reduce the risks of GDPR and PCI DSS compliance. Our personalized credit card vault technology is designed to limit dangers relating to processing, storing and transmitting credit cards and personal data in a GDPR, PCI and PII-friendly format. We're proud to offer flexible and affordable solutions for meeting critical new industry regulations, protecting your Guests Data experience, your valuable assets and your online reputation."

With Caveau, hotels accepting financial information are able to send a time-sensitive link to the client to safely collect the data. "We have inserted this tool in our reservation process inside the property management system and those confirmed by email, increasing the reliability and the security of direct reservations. We're pleased to have found an answer that fit our budget and completely solved our problem, and our customers are happy knowing their personal information is 100% secure," says Alonso. Caveau has also delivered a customized solution for filtering emails containing credit card numbers and personally identifiable information and is working to set up a payment gateway through a bank to process direct, web and OTA reservations. "I am pretty sure we are now leaders and pioneers in the compliance of the PCI DSS thanks to our partnership with Caveau!"
