WorldPay selects Sysnet to provide merchant PCI DSS Compliance Validation services to US-based merchants.

admin — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:41:10 GMT

Press release/media alert outline

April 16, 2012 Sysnet Global Solutions, a leading provider of payment card industry compliance services, specializing in PCI DSS compliance validation and merchant intelligence solutions, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with WorldPay, a global leader in card payments, to provide PCI DSS compliance validation services to WorldPay’s US-based merchants.

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a set of comprehensive requirements developed by the founding payment brands of the PCI Security Council for enhancing the security of payment account data, transactions and payment systems. Both WorldPay and Sysnet are committed to providing businesses with solutions to help achieve and maintain required PCI DSS compliance and reduce the risk of cardholder theft.

Sysnet and WorldPay have worked closely together to develop a fully branded, customized solution that meets the specific needs of WorldPay’s merchant portfolio. The program includes a tailored communication program designed to encourage merchant engagement and to assist business owners throughout the compliance journey. Delivered through a WorldPay-branded, online portal, the program provides merchants with a step-by-step approach to achieving and maintaining PCI compliance. The program also includes live support to assist merchants with questions they may during the validation process.

The solution incorporates an online self-assessment questionnaire that enables customers to quickly and easily identify any areas of their business where they may fall short of the minimum security requirements of the PCI standard. They also receive scheduled scans of their website, e-commerce applications and IP addresses to identify potential points that could be compromised or hacked, along with easy-to-follow instructions to remedy deficiencies.

Additionally, Sysnet provides WorldPay with enhanced reporting and monitoring capabilities to manage the compliance of its merchants, assisting WorldPay in meeting their compliance requirements.

In addition to the WorldPay PCI Program, WorldPay offers additional payment protection to its customers through its industry-leading End-to-End Payment Encryption service. This service provides exceptional security against data breaches by removing cardholder data from the point of sale and offers better protection than many competing software products or host-based solutions. Combined, these programs provide a robust solution for small businesses to help reduce their risk of a data breach and secure cardholder data.

“One of the greatest “invisible” points of vulnerability – particularly for small business owners – is in credit card number theft. They often feel that their size makes it not worth a hacker’s time…when, the fact is, that’s who hackers successfully target most frequently,” said Patti Newcomer, Chief Marketing Officer for WorldPay US. “At WorldPay, we are passionate about helping merchants – arming them, if you will -- to protect both their business and their customers. In Sysnet, we are fortunate to have found a partner that shares our level of commitment to small business owners.”

“By choosing to implement this approach to PCI DSS merchant compliance validation, WorldPay has demonstrated their commitment, not only to protecting cardholder data within their merchant base, but also to making it as easy as possible for their merchants to validate and maintain their compliance” said Gabriel Moynagh, Chief Executive Officer at Sysnet “We are delighted to be working with WorldPay in the US and look forward to assisting them in achieving complete merchant portfolio PCI compliance.”

Sysnet Global Solutions attains Approved Payment Forensics Investigator (PFI) status

admin — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 11:35:15 GMT

Sysnet Global Solutions, a leading worldwide provider of information security and assurance services, today announced that they have attained the status of approved Payment Forensics Investigator (PFI), confirmed by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI-SSC). Sysnet are now listed on the PCI-SCC website as approved PCI Forensic Investigators;
www.pcisecuritystandards.org/approved_companies_providers/pfi_companies.php

The PCI Security Standards Council’s PFI program establishes and maintains the rules and requirements regarding eligibility, selection and performance of companies that provide forensic investigation services to ensure they meet PCI Security Standards. The PFI program aims to help simplify and expedite procedures for approving and engaging forensic investigators. The PFI list will replace the previous ‘QFI’ list as of March 1, 2011. After March 1, the card brands will only accept forensic reports from companies that are on the PFI list.

With the growing threat of credit card fraud across the globe and more aggressive tactics shown by organised criminal groups, if an Account Data Compromise (ADC) does occur and an investigation is required, Sysnet are well equipped to minimise the potential loss and ensure that the affected organisation is back to trading in a safe, compliant manner as soon as possible.

“This achievement is the result of the cumulative effort of a number of people at Sysnet and we are delighted that we are now on the PFI list” said Nick Prescot, Senior Consultant of the Data Forensics team at Sysnet Global Solutions “Whilst we wish that no organisation suffers a data compromise, we can now demonstrate that the Sysnet approach to quality, dedication and thoroughness will ensure that, should the worst happen, the end result will be an organisation that is not only above and beyond the requirements of today’s compliance but also well prepared for the future.”

In preparing and rehearsing against potential account data compromises, Sysnet Global Solutions offer incident management workshops, intelligence briefings on the latest trends, briefings on best practice in securing personal data, guidance on how to deal with the legal aspects of an investigation and insurance services that enable organisations to be best prepared in the event of a data compromise.

“This is a very important achievement for Sysnet” said Gabriel Moynagh, General Manager at Sysnet Global Solutions “Our PFI status compliments the extensive range of products and services we currently provide and further increases our ability to assist our clients in protecting vital business information assets.”

PCI & Payment Security Retailer Breakfast Briefing – Tuesday 1st March, London

admin — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 10:06:39 GMT

and supported by BARCLAYCARD & VISA EUROPE

Sysnet Global Solutions is proud to be supporting – and speaking at – the Vendorcom PCI & Payment Security Retailer Breakfast Briefing on March 1st and we’d be delighted if you could join us.

This briefing will take the form of short, punchy, focused presentations that will provide you with up to date, accurate information that will help you improve the security of your payment data, move PCI to a business as usual process and ensure that you keep both the business and the customer happy; all this – and not a sales pitch in sight!!

In this briefing, with the help of both ourselves and Tripwire, Vendorcom will be looking at the business impact of PCI & Payment Security:

What is the cost of compliance (versus non compliance)?
How do you work with your suppliers to minimise the risk of a security breach?
If you are breached, what steps can you take to minimise the impact both directly on your customer and on your brand?

Following these presentations, there will also be a Q&A panel, where the speakers will be joined by Nick Heape of Visa Europe and Phil Jones of Barclaycard. This is the opportunity to ask ourselves and the rest of the expert panel your unanswered PCI & Payment Security questions. There will also be time after the session to stay on, ask any additional questions that may not have been answered in the group session – and to network with your peers, the panellists and the Vendorcom team.

It may not always feel like it, but as an industry we are here to help – please take advantage of us!!

Please Note: This briefing is FREE to attend

Agenda:

0800 - 0830     Registration, Breakfast & Networking

0830 - 0840    Welcome & Introduction
                        Paul Rodgers, Chairman – Vendorcom

0840 - 0905    The True Cost of Compliance

Tripwire have recently completed research into the True Cost of Compliance to determine the full costs associated with an organisation’s compliance efforts. This presentation will highlight the recently released benchmark study of multinational organisations providing a clear understanding of the differences between compliance and non-compliance costs incurred when complying with laws, regulations and policies.
Mike Shanahan, Account Director - Tripwire

0905 – 0930 The Security Breach: Guarding Against and Reacting To!

The PCI DSS is designed to help us guard our business against security breaches – that’s all well and good, but how do we work better with suppliers to ensure that they’re working to reduce our risk as well? And if the worst happens and we are breached, what is the best course of action? In essence, this session will encourage you to prepare for a breach, know how to limit your exposure to the risk of a breach and understand what best to do in the event of an account data compromise.
Nick Prescot, Senior Consultant, Forensics – Sysnet Global Solutions

0930 – 1000 Q&A Panel

What do you really want to know? What is the most burning question you have about PCI & Payment Security that remains unanswered? Now is your chance to ask it!!
Mike Shanahan (Tripwire), Nick Prescot (Sysnet), Nick Heape (Visa Europe), Phil Jones (Barclaycard), Paul Rodgers (Vendorcom)

1000 – 1030 Coffee & Networking

Your time away from the business is precious, we recognise that, and that’s why we’ve kept this session short and snappy! However, we also know that there’s never enough time to answer everybody’s questions in an open session – and indeed there may well be questions that you don’t want to ask in an open session.

So, the Vendorcom team, our speakers and our panel will all be staying on for coffee after the session so that, if you want to, you can spend an extra few minutes/half an hour, asking questions and taking the opportunity to share experiences with your peers – who knows what additional nuggets of information you could pick up that might just help your business!

Date: Tuesday 1st March 2011

Time: 0800 (for a prompt 0830 start) – 1000 (with opportunity to stay on through to 1030 to ask additional questions/network)

Venue: Herschel Room, 76 Portland Place, London, W1B 1NT

Nearest Underground Station: Regents Park (Bakerloo Line), Great Portland Street (Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan Lines)
