We’re thrilled to announce two major milestones for Couchbase Capella™, our cutting-edge managed Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform. We have officially achieved the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 4.0 attestation of compliance (AoC) as well as a CSA STAR Level 2 certification for attestation of compliance! These achievements build on our existing SOC 2 and HIPAA compliant controls, highlighting our unwavering commitment to the highest data security standards and customer trust.

PCI DSS 4.0: Elevating Security Standards

Couchbase Capella’s achievement of PCI DSS 4.0 compliance marks a significant advancement in our platform’s security controls. Rigorously audited by an independent third-party auditor, our PCI DSS 4.0 compliant controls assure organizations of our ability to securely manage and store credit card financial data. The comprehensive audit process demonstrates our dedication to protecting sensitive information and maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data.

CSA STAR Level 2: Demonstrating Excellence

In addition to the PCI DSS 4.0 compliance, Couchbase Capella has successfully completed a CSA STAR Level 2 certification for attestation of compliance. This certification follows an external security audit of our platform. The CSA STAR Level 2 certification underscores our dedication to not only meeting but exceeding security benchmarks. We are thrilled to have this external validation of our security measures.
