Akurateco Achieves ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Certification to Bolster Payment Security and Compliance

Akurateco has secured ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, a move that bolsters its security credentials alongside existing PCI DSS Level 1 compliance. For fintech professionals, this certification simplifies the complex due diligence required under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), streamlining the procurement process for Payment Service Providers and acquiring banks seeking secure technology partners.

What was announced

Akurateco has officially been certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 following an extensive external audit by an IAS-accredited certification body. This certification specifically covers the operations of its payment software platform. It is intended to serve as a critical tool for Payment Service Providers (PSPs) and acquiring banks that are facing increased regulatory pressure to verify the security of their third-party technology providers.

The timing of the achievement is significant due to the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) in the European Union. Under DORA, payment and credit institutions are required to perform rigorous due diligence on ICT providers before entering into contracts and must maintain continuous monitoring throughout the partnership. By achieving this accredited certification, Akurateco provides these institutions with independently verifiable evidence of its security posture.

The certification is officially registered in IAF CertSearch, which ensures global traceability and authenticity for the credential. For risk and procurement teams, this transparency is designed to shorten Request for Proposal (RFP) processes and streamline security reviews, as the certification acts as a standardized benchmark for information security management. This adds a layer of formal information security governance to their existing PCI DSS Level 1 compliance, which focuses specifically on the protection of payment card data.

The companies involved

Akurateco is a provider of white-label payment software solutions, focusing on the infrastructure required for payment orchestration and gateway services. The company’s primary offering is a platform that allows Payment Service Providers and financial institutions to manage their transaction flows, integrations, and risk parameters. By providing a white-label service, Akurateco enables its clients to maintain their own branding while utilizing a centralized technical backend.

The company occupies a specific niche in the fintech ecosystem, serving as the technical foundation for other financial entities rather than operating as a direct-to-consumer payment processor. This positioning makes certifications like ISO 27001 particularly relevant, as their clients’ regulatory compliance often depends on the security standards maintained by Akurateco. With a history of multiple platform updates and integrations, the firm has established itself as a recurring player in the payment infrastructure space. Its focus remains on the operational resilience of its software platform, ensuring that the high-volume data processed by its users remains secure and compliant with international standards.

What FF News has reported before

FF News has followed Akurateco’s technical expansion closely, recently reporting on how Akurateco Partners with viaSocket to Deliver No-Code Payment Automation for 2,300+ Apps. The company has also focused on improving accessibility for PSPs, as seen when Akurateco Launches Apple Pay Support for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge Browsers. Earlier in 2026, the firm addressed the growing role of artificial intelligence in the sector by releasing AI-Readable Payment API Documentation via MCP Server. Additionally, its geographic and functional reach was highlighted when Akurateco Strengthened its LATAM Offering With PIX Antifraud Protection Powered by Fraudio, demonstrating a commitment to localized security measures.

What this means

This move highlights a shift in the fintech vendor landscape where "security by design" is no longer a marketing slogan but a regulatory necessity. As DORA enforcement looms, the burden of proof for operational resilience is shifting from the financial institutions themselves onto their software providers. Vendors without ISO-level certification will likely find themselves locked out of the EU market as procurement teams prioritize "audit-ready" partners to avoid the administrative overhead of manual due diligence. This sets a high bar for smaller orchestration platforms, potentially consolidating the market around a few highly certified players who can absorb the costs of continuous compliance.
