VigiTrust, Verizon enter agreement for PCI DSS compliance

Friday 6 July 2012 15:10 CET | News

VigiTrust, a provider of security products, has entered an agreement with US mobile telecommunications network and wireless phone provider Verizon Wireless, to expand its IT Security & Compliance offering to include Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) services to help its European customers achieve PCI DSS compliance.

As part of the deal, Vigitrust will now be able to offer its customers Verizon’s portfolio of QSA services, including PCI DSS security project initiation, compliance remediation, compliance validation and certification as well as compliance project management and maintenance.

The Verizon 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report has shown that 96 percent of the breach victims investigated were not PCI DSS compliant when they were last assessed (or were never actually assessed or validated).

Verizon provides a series of security services including governance, risk and compliance solutions, data loss and prevention services and identity management services.
