InTechnology unveils PCI-certified
managed payment service
InTechnology today launched a PCI-certified managed service
called PaySecure Connect. The cloud services provider has partnered
with Phoenix Managed Networks and Mako Networks to deliver a
resilient MPLS network and a secure PCI-certified payment
infrastructure which is also capable of delivering managed voice
and data services over the same secure connection.
PaySecure Connect has been developed to overcome the complexity
of achieving and maintaining compliance with PCI data security
standards and is the first package to offer consolidated payments
authorisation between the retailer and banks with a scalable
communication and managed services network.
Natalie Duffield, customer management director at InTechnology
said: "The recent security breach at card processing firm Global
Payments which exposed Mastercard, Visa and Discover's customers'
credit card details throws a spotlight on the necessity for
maintaining payment security vigilance.
PaySecure Connect provides an easily implemented, fully secure
retail network environment for payment and managed voice and data
services. It is a reliable and cost-effective way for retailers -
and other organisations who take credit card transactions - to
reduce the risk of non-compliance with PCI regulations while
benefiting from the latest connectivity technologies, reduced
costs, and improved speeds and performance."
Alan Stephenson-Brown, UK director of Phoenix Managed Networks
commented: "Maintaining PCI compliance is complex even for the
experts and is certainly beyond most merchants. PaySecure Connect
is the first that has been externally certified level 1 PCI DSS
compliant but also crucially it is easy to implement and takes away
a significant part of the burden faced by merchants when attempting
to achieve compliance.
"With PaySecure Connect there are a number of operational
advantages. Rapid transaction times, improved customer throughput
and 24/7 support is included with every licence. No matter how many
managed services you opt for, you'll only have to deal with one
expert supplier."
This converged connectivity delivers significant cost savings to
multi-site, multi-checkout retailers and businesses that need to
take card payments, as valuable seconds that increase customer
throughput are shaved off each transaction time. In addition,
PaySecure Connect adds further value by removing many of the
in-house resource costs needed to establish and adhere to PCI
standards.
PaySecure Connect is the ultimate one-stop shop offering for
retail environments:
• Reduced complexity - simplifying the compliance process
• Advanced security - keeping retailers compliant
• Cost savings - providing better performance
• Seamless integration - consolidating multiple services
• Scalability - adding services as and when they are needed
