FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
London, December 11th 2017 – Compliance 3, a UK based consultancy with extensive experience in assisting companies to achieve and maintain PCI DSS compliance in Contact Centres, announced today that it has joined the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) as a new Participating Organization. Compliance3 will work with the PCI SSC to help secure payment data worldwide through the ongoing development and adoption of the PCI Security Standards.
The PCI SSC leads a global, cross-industry effort to increase payment security by providing flexible, industry-driven and effective data security standards and programs. The keystone is the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which provides an actionable framework for developing a robust payment card data security process and preventing, detecting and mitigating criminal attacks and breaches.
As a Participating Organization, Compliance3 adds its voice to the standards development process and will collaborate with a growing community of more than 800 Participating Organizations to improve payment security worldwide. Compliance3 will also have the opportunity to recommend new initiatives for consideration to the PCI Security Standards Council and share cross-sector experiences and best practices at the annual PCI Community Meetings.
“In an era of increasingly sophisticated attacks on systems, PCI Security Standards and resources help organizations secure payment data and prevent, detect and mitigate attacks that can lead to costly data breaches,” said Mauro Lance, Chief Operating Officer of the PCI Security Standards Council. “By joining as a Participating Organization, Compliance3 demonstrates they are playing an active part in improving payment security globally by helping drive awareness and adoption of PCI Security Standards.”
John Greenwood, Executive Director said “Compliance3 is delighted to be accepted by the PCI Security Standards Council as a Participating Organisation. We have long been advocates of the importance of payment data security and look forward to working with the Council going forward.”
