PCI 3.0 validation achieved by PCI service provider Auric Systems International

PETERBOROUGH, N.H. - Feb. 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Merchants or service providers that handle, process, store or transmit credit card data are obligated to adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

PCI 3.0 became the latest PCI compliance standard on January 1^st, 2015. In 2007 Auric Systems International became a PCI DSS Level 1 Validated Service provider and has remained current with the PCI version requirements.

PCI 3.0 provides stronger focus on some of the greater risk areas in the threat environment, increased clarity on PCI DSS & PA DSS requirements, improved flexibility for our compliant clients implementing, assessing and building to the standards. PCI 3.0 helps manage evolving risks or threats and aligns with changes in industry best practices. The PCI 3.0 standard clarifies scoping and reporting, eliminates redundant sub-requirements and consolidates documentation."

"The decision to achieve PCI 3.0 a year earlier than required positions Auric Systems to support our client's move to version 3.0 in 2015", stated Auric’s CEO Raymond Cote. “Achieving compliance can be a significant enterprise wide project; we anticipate the adoption of PCI 3.0 to be no small undertaking for many of the merchants we serve. Having achieved PCI 3.0 ourselves helps us serve merchants more effectively."

“One example and a beneficial byproduct of completing PCI 3.0 compliance is having a PCI DSS 3.0 responsibility matrix available for our clients using our AuricVault tokenization and storage service." stated Auric's John Tourgee. “Providing clarity of PCI responsibilities enhances the value and efficiency of the PCI services Auric Systems International offers."
