You can put your trust in CMCS to help you recover your business if the worst should happen.
Therefore, as the leading product and service provider in its sector, we work tirelessly to ensure our governance conforms to all relevant accreditations and standards.
We are extremely proud to have recently renewed all the current industry accreditations we hold, following a successful audit, and to have made improvements in all aspects of these standards. CMCS have also renewed the PCI DSS accreditation as a Level 1 Service Provider for yet another year.
Our Clients, quite rightly, place a lot of importance on governance and partnering with a business who are serious about not just having the relevant suite of accreditations, but also in adhering to the processes set out in them. They demonstrate a confidence and trust in our business by providing evidence that we will deliver the levels of quality and service that are expected. It is also vital that these accreditations are robustly audited, which is why at CMCS we use external 3rd party organisations to ensure that our governance conforms to all the relevant standards.
