Paciolan Announces Compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
Compliance helps ensure that Paciolan clients adhere with strict credit card data integrity regulations
Irvine, CA (09/25/2006) - Paciolan, the leader in venue-enabled ticketing, marketing, and fundraising solutions, today announced that it has validated compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). Through PCI DSS compliance, Paciolan helps its clients manage data security risks related to credit cardholder data for both hosted and non-hosted clients.
PCI DSS, endorsed by Visa, MasterCard International, Discover, American Express and JCB, requires merchants and service providers that store, process or transmit customer credit card data, to adopt information security controls and processes to ensure data integrity. Frequent compliance reports by a certified third-party assessor are required to achieve compliance for merchants and service providers that process a large number of transactions. Merchants and service providers that do not comply with the PCI DSS requirements are subject to penalties or fines. Details pertaining to PCI DSS compliance can be found on the PCI Security Standards Council website, www.pcisecuritystandards.org.
"Many live entertainment venues and sports teams selling merchandise online are required to conduct all such transactions in an environment that is in compliance with PCI DSS standards. By meeting these requirements, Paciolan enables its venues to run their online businesses confidently in a safe, industry-compliant manner," said Robert J. McCullen, CEO of AmbironTrustWave.
"In an era of growing litigation related to online breaches of consumer data, our customers are under increasing pressure to ensure that they protect their fans' and patrons' credit card information," said Dave Butler, CEO of Paciolan. "Paciolan's newly earned PCI compliance assures our clients that their infrastructure adheres to aggressive guidelines set forth by the leading card companies to protect valuable patron card data. We're pleased to have met this milestone and look forward to providing the infrastructure that ensures card holders' data integrity now and in years to come."
