SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA and KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA (June 1, 2010) - FINEXUS International Sdn Bhd, a shared services and outsourcing provider, has been validated compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Trustwave, the leading provider of PCI DSS compliance management solutions, performed the validation.
PCI DSS is the payment card industry security requirement for entities that store, process or transmit cardholder data, and has been endorsed by all the major card brands - Visa Inc., MasterCard Worldwide, Discover Network, American Express and JCB.
As a shared services and outsourcing provider, FINEXUS had to demonstrate compliance by thoroughly documenting its physical access controls, IT environment and information security policies and procedures. To maintain their compliance, FINEXUS has enrolled in Trustwave's on-demand compliance management solution, TrustKeeper® to access the necessary tools to support on-going compliance such as quarterly network vulnerability scans.
"Working with thousands of customers each day, it was critical we helped ensure their personal data was secure," says Clement Loh, group managing director at FINEXUS Group. "Trustwave's proprietary technology helped us achieve and maintain PCI DSS compliance and their technical expertise helped guide us through the process."
"Validating compliance with the PCI DSS is the first step to securing their corporate environment," says Andy Bokor, executive director of APAC and EMEA for Trustwave. "FINEXUS has established the proper security controls to help mitigate risk and protect their customers and organization."
"Working with an international organization like FINEXUS clearly demonstrates our continued success throughout Malaysia, the surrounding regions and the rest of Asia-Pacific," says Sunil Sharma, managing director of Asia-Pacific at Trustwave. "We look forward to working with FINEXUS to further implement additional controls that will help them better adhere to security best practices."
