The pioneering project sets a new benchmark for compliance and data protection within Sri Lanka’s financial sector, showcasing MillenniumIT ESP’s expertise and dedication to excellence. The implementation was carried out seamlessly, integrating TDE into the bank’s core system without disrupting daily operations. Comprehensive testing ensured full PCI DSS compliance, and ongoing support from MillenniumIT ESP will maintain the system’s optimal security and performance.
MillenniumIT ESP CEO Shevan Goonetilleke said: “This is a proud moment for us. Partnering with DFCC Bank to implement Sri Lanka’s first Transparent Data Encryption solution demonstrates our commitment to innovation in the financial sector. Together, we’ve established a new benchmark for secure and efficient banking.”

It exemplifies how partnerships between technology providers and institutions can drive advancements in cybersecurity and data protection. By setting this benchmark, MillenniumIT ESP and DFCC Bank are inspiring the broader adoption of cutting-edge security solutions across the industry, fostering greater trust in Sri Lanka’s financial and technology ecosystems.
