COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Configuresoft, an innovator in systems management technology and the creator of enterprise Configuration IntelligenceTM, today announced its participation as a founding member of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Vendor Alliance (SVA). The PCI SVA has concluded that the PCI Data Security Standard represents the most comprehensive set of data security and privacy requirements available through a set of guidelines for protecting confidential data throughout the value chain of any industry. Collectively, the members of the PCI SVA offer merchants, financial institutions and card processors a wide range of alternative products to help them achieve PCI DSS compliance.
"The payment card industry has done a great service to consumers by passing the data security standard, however, it has been widely reported that adoption is slow," said Chris Farrow, director of Configuresoft's Center for Policy and Compliance. “The PCI SVA will not only demonstrate the business value and technological viability of PCI DSS compliance, but will provide programs to effectively and efficiently guide merchants in protecting their customers’ data.” The founding members of the PCI SVA, Configuresoft, Cyber-Ark, Modulo Security, Proginet, Protegrity, Reflex Security, SafeNet and VeriSign, represent industry expertise from all facets of data security and network operations. Members of the PCI SVA are typically brought in by a merchant or financial institution after a PCI DSS assessment, in order to help the organization achieve compliance with PCI DSS.
