What Mastercard SDP
Means and Why It Matters
The Site Data Protection (SDP) Program is Mastercard’s framework for service providers that handle payment data. It sets high standards for security and compliance so merchants, PSPs, and acquirers can trust the partners they work with.
A service provider earns Mastercard SDP certification after completing a formal registration and validation process. This includes submitting a current PCI DSS Attestation of Compliance and demonstrating that security practices meet Mastercard’s protection standards. Certification is maintained through regular reviews and updates, typically on an annual basis, to ensure ongoing compliance.
Role and Importance
for PSPs and Acquirers
Payment service providers (PSPs) and acquirers hold a central place in the payment ecosystem, connecting merchants, banks, and card networks. Their work includes processing transactions and taking responsibility for keeping sensitive cardholder data secure while meeting regulatory standards.
Many earn recognition through Mastercard SDP certification as part of their compliance process.
Building Trust and Reputation
A presence in Mastercard’s SDP Registered Service Provider list or Visa’s Global Registry shows that an organisation meets strict PCI DSS standards. Merchants, partners, and regulators can see that cardholder data is handled carefully. Acquirers can rely on providers that have passed this validation, and PSPs demonstrate responsibility and reliability to the people they work with.
Compliance as a Growth Advantage
Merchants and enterprise clients seek reassurance before signing agreements. Large retailers, iGaming platforms, and cross-border marketplaces frequently ask for proof of SDP or Visa Registry inclusion before moving forward.
For PSPs, these credentials help earn trust and open doors to new partnerships. For acquirers, working with validated providers simplifies due diligence and makes onboarding smoother.
Lower Legal and Financial Risks
Non-compliance and a lack of risk management can lead to fines, additional monitoring fees, or even loss of processing rights. Partnering with Mastercard- or Visa-validated providers reduces exposure to these risks and shows that regulatory and financial responsibilities are taken seriously.
Operational Efficiency
Mastercard and Visa keep their monitoring processes up to date. When a PSP holds official validation, acquirers spend less time on audits and manual checks. Day-to-day coordination flows more smoothly, and operational strain decreases.
Supporting expansion and partnerships
For PSPs and acquirers looking to move into new countries, compliance matters even more. Many banks and regulators want to see proof of PCI DSS validation through Mastercard’s listings before they work with a provider. Without it, breaking into new markets can become a real challenge.
When these credentials are in place, they not only satisfy those requirements but also open the door to stronger partnerships and make it easier for acquirers to grow their operations.

Mastercard Program: Our Path
Payneteasy has achieved Mastercard SDP certification through a structured process for strong payment security and regulatory compliance.
Closely working with QSA (an independent security expert approved by PCI SSC) we have prepared and submitted AOC/ROC official documents that our system, policies and procedures comply with PCI DSS standard.
On the technical side, we have implemented robust measures, such as encryption, tokenisation, to protect cardholder data throughout its lifecycle. On completion of this process, our certification was published in the Mastercard SP Post List, making our commitment to secure payment operations visible to clients and partners.
