ISD Corporation Joins PCI Security Standards Council as Newest Participating Organization
—ISD Corporation to participate in key standards setting body protecting payment cardholder data—
Holland, MI – February 8, 2010 - — ISD Corporation, provider of payment processing software, announced today that it has joined the PCI Security Standards Council as a new participating organization. As a Participating Organization, ISD Corporation will work with the Council to evolve the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) and other payment card data protection standards.
The PCI DSS, endorsed by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc., requires merchants and service providers that store, process or transmit customer payment card data to adhere to information security controls and processes that ensure data integrity. More information on the council and the standard can be found at www.pcisecuritystandards.org
As a Participating Organization, ISD will now have access to the latest payment card security standards from the Council, be able to provide feedback on the standards and become part of a growing community that now includes more than 500 organizations. In an era of increasingly sophisticated attacks on systems, adhering to the PCI DSS represents an entity’s best protection against data criminals. By joining as a Participating Organization, ISD is adding its voice to the process.
“The PCI Security Standards Council is committed to helping everyone involved in the payment chain protect consumer payment data,” said Bob Russo, General Manager of the PCI Security Standards Council. “By participating in the standards setting process, ISD demonstrates they are playing an active part in this important end goal.”
“ISD has been on the forefront of working with PCI security standards on securing our solutions for many years,” stated Brad Adams, Director, Product Development, ISD Corporation. “Joining the PCI Council and participating in the future direction of card payment security will help ISD to further represent our customers’ interests as well.”
