TRG Customer Solutions Successfully Renews its Payment Card Industry (PCI) Certification

March 30, 2011

JACKSONVILLE, FL – TRG Customer Solutions today announced that it has successfully renewed its certification as a Level 1 Service Provider under the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) for the year 2011. This certification was renewed after an extensive, independent audit of TRG’s operations and processes conducted by SecurityMetrics Inc, a Qualified Security Assessor Company (QSAC), fully registered with the PCI Security Standards Council.

“The standards set forth by the PCI Security Standards Council are constantly updated to reflect the security threats that face the industry in general and specifically service providers such as TRG-Customer Solutions. Each year the bar is necessarily raised to ensure our customer’s data remains safe and secure. It is very gratifying to maintain our compliance level for what is now 3 year running.” stated John Veino, Chief Information Officer of TRG Customer Solutions. “These requirements include: building and maintaining a secure network, protecting cardholder data, implementing strong access control measures, maintaining a vulnerability management program, regularly monitoring and testing networks for system security, and maintaining a robust information security policy.”

The PCI DSS certification is a global information security standard designed to facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security measures to help safeguard sensitive customer account data. Jointly developed by the founding payment brands of the PCI Security Standards Council, which include Visa, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, Amex and MasterCard, the PCI DSS covers requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protective measures.

“Our clients demand the utmost security for the protection of their customers’ data and TRG has always been committed to safeguarding the security and confidentiality of this data,” said Frank Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of TRG Customer Solutions. “The renewal of this certification highlights our continued commitment to maintaining world class security standards and providing the highest levels of client services.”
