Security Innovation Offers PCI Compliance Services, Easing the
Process
of Compliance Certification
Provides Continuous Assurance for the Integrity of Application Security Practices and Outsourcers
Wilmington, MA - June 14, 2007 - Security Innovation,
the authority on application security and leading independent provider
of risk assessment, risk mitigation and training services, today
announced its PCI Professional Services, a series of practices designed
to facilitate compliance in the Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard (PCI DSS). Among these services offered to companies pursuing
PCI compliance are: Readiness Consulting, PCI on-site Audit, and
Recurring Services designed to ensure continuous compliance and
security.
PCI DSS version 1.1, introduced in September 2006 by the PCI Security
Standards Council, is a set of security standards for securing payment
card data. Compliance to PCI DSS is mandatory for all organizations that
store, process or transmit cardholder data. Version 1.1 introduces new
requirements for the application layer, and companies must understand
the changes and know how to implement processes to comply. Even
organizations already PCI compliant are faced with updating their
systems to meet the new requirements.
Security Innovation helps organizations build sustainable information
security programs. The new PCI Professional Services is an extension of
these offerings. With specific readiness solutions to help companies
become compliant, and continuing services after compliance is achieved,
Security Innovation enables companies to fine-tune their security
practices and streamline PCI activities, reducing costs and time
investments.
Becoming compliant with the PCI Data Security Standard demonstrates
EchoSat’s long standing commitment to data security and to our
customers,” said C. L. “Spencer” Rutherford II, president of EchoSat
Communications Group. “With our industry-leading and PCI-compliant
Secure Payments Gateway (SPG), EchoSat delivers unmatched reliability
and peace of mind with our fully-secure, state-of-the-art communications
