TripStax achieves recognition for safeguarding client data

TMC technology supplier TripStax has achieved two key auditing and certification “milestones” for its processes to protect client data and manage information security.

The company said that it had attained ISO 27001 certification for the second consecutive year. This is a global standard that recognises best practice for establishing, implementing and managing an information security management system.

TripStax, which offers TMCs a modular stack of tech services connected to its Core central data processing system, added that the ISO standard had been extended this year to cover its new TripStax Hotels module, which launched last year following the acquisition of Hotelzon from Travelport.

In a further boost, the company has also completed its SOC 2 audit, which is a voluntary cyber security compliance framework designed to ensure third-party providers securely store and process client data.

Scott Wylie, chief technology officer at TripStax, said: “Millions of our clients’ data transactions are being processed by the TripStax Core and within the cloud-based TripStax modules on an annual basis. We therefore take the security, separation and integrity of that client data very seriously.

“It is vital that we can provide assurances to our customers that their data is secure and that we have extremely robust data management systems in place.

“We are proud to have achieved these standards as this demonstrates unequivocally that our customers can trust TripStax to manage and protect their data with the utmost security.”
