Security-specialist Mako Networks has achieved certification in PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) and wants more partners to help capitalise on the opportunity to assist smaller merchants to become compliant in the standards.
Since last year it has been working on developing the Mako System in PCI DSS, a hosted service.
