CAPITAL Receives Re-certification on PCI Compliance
June 22, 2007

SIOUX FALLS, SD, – CAPITAL Card Services (CAPITAL), a leader in portfolio management and card outsourcing solutions, announced today its re-certification and compliance with PCI Data Security Standards.

Visa® and MasterCard® aligned to form the PCI Data Security Standard in response to consumer demand for absolute protection of account information. As a result, CAPITAL proactively invested in advanced security measures to ensure their compliance with PCI.

“We are concerned with our clients and helping them maintain strong, trusting relationships with their customers,” said Jeffrey Aegerter, CAPITAL’s President and CEO. “By complying with PCI standards, we give our clients an enhanced sense of security.” 

To become PCI compliant, there are twelve security requirements that must be met. PCI sets technology requirements such as the use of data encryption, implementing strong access control measures, maintaining an information security policy, and regular monitoring and testing of networks. Also included are procedural mandates such as the need to implement formal security policies and vulnerability management programs. Each year, CAPITAL undergoes a comprehensive assessment of these areas to ensure it’s compliant with PCI Data Security Standards.
