Webloyalty First to Achieve Compliance with Most Recent Payment Card
Industry Data Security Standards
NORWALK, Conn. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 2, 2008 --
Webloyalty (http://www.webloyalty.com),
a leading provider of incremental revenue for online businesses, today
announced its payment application systems have achieved compliance with
the latest Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
version 1.2. The compliance rating puts Webloyalty in an elite category
for securing and protecting consumers’ financial information. These most
recent PCI standards were introduced on October 1, 2008.
“We are pleased to have worked closely with Webloyalty on PCI DSS
assessments over the past 4 years, including providing support for this
latest compliance achievement. As a provider of comprehensive PCI DSS
services covering compliance, remediation and program management, we
work with many merchants and service providers. Webloyalty is the first
of our clients to become PCI DSS 1.2 compliant,” said Branden Williams,
Director, PCI Practice, VeriSign (http://www.verisign.com/).
The PCI Security Standards Council was formed by American Express,
Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and
Visa Inc., International to help facilitate the broad adoption of
consistent data security measures. The DSS is a set of comprehensive
requirements intended to help organizations proactively protect customer
data. It includes measures for security management, policies,
procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical
protective areas.
“Webloyalty places a premium on keeping our members’ financial data
private and secure. We take the annual assessment seriously and devote
time, money and resources into ensuring our technological infrastructure
is the best it can be,” said Rick Fernandes, CEO and founder, Webloyalty.
Starting January 1, 2009, all merchants wanting to process transactions
with American Express, Discover, JCB International, MasterCard or Visa
credit or debit cards will have to comply with the new standard.
