ControlScan Joins Secure POS Vendor Alliance
June 2011 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
ControlScan, a provider of PCI compliance solutions for small- to mid-sized merchants, has joined the Secure POS Vendor Alliance (SPVA).
Created by Hypercom, Ingenico S.A. and VeriFone in April 2009, SPVA fosters widespread compliance of existing security standards to protect cardholder information and defend merchants and acquirers against security breaches. Since its inception, the non-profit organization has united industry experts and attracted almost 20 leading payment companies that seek to have a voice within the world of secure payments.
SPVA membership is open to vendors that develop secure POS payment systems or have products or solutions that interact with secure POS payment devices such as retailers, acquirers and banks. The organization works to evolve security enhancements and interoperability required to reduce fraud and lower risk for all participants in card payment transactions. Various membership levels offer specific benefits for participation in the SPVA organization and Technical Work Groups.
