Gala Technology platform SOTpay gains ISO 9001 certification

Gala Technology’s payments platform SOTpay has achieved ISO 9001 certification, marking the culmination of a three-year technology transformation focused on platform development, security enhancements and operational governance.

The certification, secured in February 2026, follows a period of infrastructure upgrades aimed at improving integration speed, strengthening compliance capabilities and supporting scalable payment operations for enterprise customers. The milestone also builds on the platform’s earlier attainment of Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation in 2025.

The company’s transformation has included the launch of SOTpay Connect, a middleware integration layer designed to simplify connections between the payments platform and third-party systems such as customer relationship management (CRM) and property management systems (PMS). According to the company, the solution significantly reduces the time required for integrations, which historically could take months, to a process that can now be completed within days.

Jason Mace, CEO of SOTpay, said, “This is more than a certification milestone it is the result of years of vision, discipline and belief in what SOTpay can become. We have invested heavily in our systems, our people and our processes because we know the future of payments belongs to businesses that can combine security, agility and customer experience in one platform. ISO 9001 is an important recognition of that work, but for us it is also a springboard. We are building a business designed to scale, to innovate quickly and to help our customers move faster in an increasingly connected digital economy.”

The payments industry has seen growing demand for integrated software ecosystems as businesses seek to unify operational platforms with embedded payment capabilities. Faster integrations and recognised quality standards are increasingly viewed as essential requirements for vendors competing in the enterprise payments infrastructure market.

Andrew Scott, Operations Director at SOTpay, added that improved integration speed could also shorten implementation timelines and accelerate the commercial value customers derive from new payment capabilities.

As businesses across sectors increasingly prioritise secure, interoperable payment infrastructure, SOTpay’s latest certification highlights the role of operational standards and integration efficiency in shaping the next phase of digital payments adoption.
