Tulsa, OK, June 1, 2023 – TokenEx today announced that it has earned the Trusted Cloud Provider trustmark from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining and raising awareness of best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment. Built upon existing CSA programs, the Trusted Cloud Provider trustmark assists consumers in identifying cloud providers that demonstrate commitment to holistic security and are aligned with their individual security requirements.
TokenEx has been a Cloud Security Alliance member since 2020 and is honored to be included in this exclusive group for cloud security organizations. John Noltensmeyer, Chief Information Security Officer at TokenEx, said, “TokenEx clients entrust us with their most sensitive data, and we take their trust very seriously.

CSA Chief Strategy Officer Troy Leach stated, “Organizations that outsource the protection of cardholder and personal data to cloud providers like TokenEx rely on those providers to securely store, process, or transmit that data. TokenEx becomes an integral component of the organization’s payment flow and directly impacts the security of their cardholder data. Through this CSA program, the Trusted Cloud Provider trustmark gives organizations a level of confidence that their cloud provider adheres to a transparent set of compliance and security standards.”
To become a CSA Trusted Cloud Provider, organizations must:
