Reviewer brief

As of 26 Oct 2026, CertReports holds 1 registry-verified row and 1 expired row for Windcave, drawn from the Visa Global Registry and the Data Privacy Framework list. Windcave is listed in the Visa Global Registry of Service Providers for PCI DSS (Listed on the Visa Global Registry as PCI DSS validated through 2027-04-30), dated 25 Sep 2009, assessed by VOC Consultancy. Windcave previously appeared with EU-US Data Privacy Framework evidence, but the listing is no longer active and CertReports found no renewal as of 26 Oct 2026. No public evidence was found for SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA and GDPR as of 26 Oct 2026; that is a gap in the public record, not a finding of non-coverage, and the vendor can supply it under NDA.
