PCI Compliance 
In 2004 MasterCard created the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) which was then accepted as the standard by the four major credit card companies, American Express, Discover, Visa and MasterCard.

This standard was introduced to reduce credit card fraud, and through compliance and validation protect vendors, employees, employers and consumers from suffering financial loss as a result of unprotected networks. This means all companies who process, store or transmit credit card data are required to comply with the PCI DSS standard.

It is the introduction of this new standard that has prompted Infosoft to develop its Online Module. Some of our customers have asked us to complete lengthy documentation so they can get PCI certified. This process can be avoided in most cases, however if you feel that your Organisation could benefit from a full and proper audit, we encourage you to speak with a Wellington company called Confide.

 

Confide understands that security is a mindset rather than a technology suite. They take a pragmatic approach to PCI DSS assessment and work with their clients to help them achieve compliance. 

Being a locally owned and operated Qualified Security Assessor, Confide understand the local business and technology markets. They believe in 'Appropriate Security Practice' to ensure achievable, relevant and manageable solutions secure your business against current and ongoing threats.
