“Data security has always been at the forefront of our business, and this further exemplifies the type of standards we have put in place to ensure our clients’ information is handled with the utmost care,” he continues. “In today’s landscape an organization cannot afford to take any chances with whom and how their data-bearing devices are handled. Our rigorous process supports the needs of organizations who are obligated to meet the numerous laws and regulations requiring the protection of confidential information, such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley), PCI (Payment Card Industry Security Standards) and FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act).
