  Ziina does not publish a formal SOC 2 / ISO 27001 trust center page as of the
  review date; PCI DSS is asserted via card-data storage partners and CBUAE SVF
  regulation is the primary compliance anchor. Verify current certifications with
  Ziina directly (support@ziina.com) before relying on them.
