Envysion Video to Comply With PCI-DSS Standards
Envysion Inc., a managed video as a service (MVaaS) provider, passes its PCI-DSS certification audit, making it the only web-based video surveillance firm to meet new security guidelines aimed at reducing credit card fraud. Envysion Video helps retail, restaurant and hospitality customers improve their profitability and enhance their customer experience by providing remote access to in-store video that is tied to business applications, such as Point of Sale (POS) systems.
Being compliant with the PCI-DSS standard provides added protection for Envysion's customers against identity fraud by ensuring that all components of its MVaaS solution meet the industry's stringent security requirements. Many consumer-oriented companies are themselves rushing to become PCI certified to protect their customers' sensitive information and to avoid the severe fines and limitations that would otherwise be placed on their businesses. PCI DSS was developed by credit card companies to help businesses that process card payments prevent fraud and other security threats.
Envysion performed a Level 1 DSS audit which contained more than 260 specific requirements. Envysion has met the following requirements with its MVaaS system:
-- Ensure that the hardware elements of the service are secure and protected from hackers and other intrusion attempts.
-- Implement strong access control measures which limit access to computing resources on a "need to know" only basis.
-- Regularly monitor and test systems and processes to ensure the service and DVRs are secure.
-- Follow strict procedures for building, testing and deploying systems with appropriate firewalls.
-- Follow a strong information security policy, including training employees in security awareness and testing incident response plans.
Compliance with the full PCI-DSS standard, which is becoming an absolute requirement for video providers, provides customers with confidence and further differentiates Envysion Video from its competitors.
