Configuresoft “Insures” PCI-DSS Compliance Success at Mondial Assistance

(August 06, 2008)-- Configuresoft announced that Mondial Assistance US, a leading provider of insurance and assistance services, has selected Configuresoft’s Enterprise Configuration Manager (ECM) to ensure Clean IT by providing continuous compliance with regulatory and industry requirements such as PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and Sarbanes-Oxley.

“Information technology is an integral part of our business,” said Chris Burroughs, Vice President, IT Infrastructure Services for Mondial Assistance. “The data provided by ECM has been invaluable. Before, every person in the department was tasked with helping with patching and audits. Now, only one person handles each area, which frees our time for other projects.”

As a travel insurance provider for more than 100 million U.S. customers, Mondial Assistance cannot afford costly down time. To keep systems secure and running at peak performance, the IT staff must ensure that all applications stay current with the latest releases and patches. Additionally, the company needs to remain in continuous compliance. With a growing infrastructure, monitoring the system and generating the required reports was no longer achievable as a manual task.

“Configuresoft not only enables a greater degree of efficiency in our IT organization, but with CP&C toolkits, we can have confidence that our systems are continuously secure and compliant,” added Burroughs.

A key factor in Mondial Assistance’s selection of ECM was Configuresoft’s Center for Policy & Compliance (CP&C), which is comprised of policy experts, former auditors and contributors to Federal mandates and standards. CP&C prepares a comprehensive series of toolkits - automated checks and controls that include access control, audit control and access change monitoring for Configuresoft customers.

“ECM’s Clean IT compliance features allow Mondial Assistance to perpetually audit its critical servers to ensure they meet industry-standard compliance guidelines,” said Dave Shackleford, Director of Configuresoft’s Center for Policy and Compliance. “With ECM, Mondial Assistance can easily view, assess and implement a process of continuous compliance across its entire enterprise, effectively managing constantly evolving standards.”
