AudienceView Fulfills 'Best Practices' of Payment Card Industry
Toronto, Canada - August 16, 2006 - AudienceView, providers of ticketing, CRM, and fundraising software for the sports, arts, theatre, and event industries, has received validation of compliance under the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. Meeting these standards demonstrates AudienceView's commitment to providing secure payment applications, and in establishing their position as a trusted leader in the ticketing software industry.
VeriSign, worldwide operators of intelligent infrastructure services, conducted an independent assessment of the company's software. Their evaluation determined that the AudienceView solution meets the Payment Application of Best Practices (PABP) standards for storing, processing, and transmitting cardholder data. Compliance under the PABP means AudienceView is expertly addressing their software's security, as well as the risks related to the different types of payment applications.
"It was vital that our software meet this stringent list of best practices," said Kevin Kimsa, CEO and President of AudienceView. "One of our long-standing commitments has always been to provide a powerful and innovative ticketing solution for our customers, as well as a safe and secure one. This validation is proof of that commitment."
The PCI Data Security Standard is a list of best practices (PABP) that help protect a cardholder, including: the payment application must be on a secure, maintained network; it must protect cardholder data; it must use and regularly update anti-virus software; it must control access to information; it must regularly monitor and test the networks and security systems; and the company must maintain a corporate information security policy.
AudienceView is proud to be at the forefront of ticketing and payment security. Adherence to these best practices places further confidence in the payment and ticketing industries; ensures the protection of AudienceView clients; and promises to safeguard the consumer's information, and protect them from identity theft.
