Centris Receives PCI Compliance Certificate

(July 14, 2008)-- Centris Information Services, provider of call center services, advanced automated call handling applications, on-demand interpreter services and broadcast messaging, has announced it has received its Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance certificate. "Receiving this certificate ensures our customers, merchants and cardholders our data is protected according to the industry's highest standards", says Dale Augustyn, Director of Information Technology for Centris.

In 2004, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard was created in a joint effort by major credit card companies; American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover, with each one of the credit card companies having its separate standard detail. June 30, 2005, the PCI DSS regulations were standardized and implemented.

David Hayes, Centris Vice President of Finance, says "While we had many of the security standards already in place, going through the Self Assessment process and security scans made the entire company aware of how important data protection is to our customers and our company. We take this as a starting point and expect to make continued improvements as time goes on. Constant vigilance and continuous improvement is very important to our data security initiatives."
