How StrongDM Helps with PSD2 and PSD3 Compliance

The Revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) and the upcoming PSD3 regulations are designed to create a more secure, integrated, and competitive European payments market. Compliance with these standards requires robust security measures, including strong authentication, access controls, data protection, and audit logging.

This solution guide will walk you through how StrongDM helps financial services organizations meet the stringent requirements of PSD2 and prepare for PSD3 by providing:

• Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) – Enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across all systems to meet PSD2 mandates.
• Granular Access Policies – Implementing least-privilege access controls to secure sensitive payment infrastructure.
• Comprehensive Audit Trails – Automatically logging user sessions and access requests for simplified compliance audits.
• Automated Compliance Reporting – Generating compliance-ready reports with minimal effort.
• Third-Party Access Management – Controlling and auditing vendor access to protect payment data.
• Real-Time Monitoring & Incident Response – Providing continuous visibility into access activity and immediate alerting on suspicious behavior.
