eWinery Solutions Achieves PCI Compliance Certification


eWinery Solutions Achieves PCI Compliance Certification

Napa, California (PRWEB) January 16, 2012

eWinery Solutions, the industry leader in fully integrated business platform solutions for the wine industry, announced today it has received Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard certification (PCI-DSS) for its consumer direct software platform. eWinery Solutions is responsible for securing information for millions of credit card members every year. PCI-DSS certification confirms eWinery Solutions has met security requirements for increased controls of consumer data providing enhanced protection from credit card fraud.

The eWinery Solutions business platform is the first fully integrated ecommerce platform in the wine industry to achieve PCI Compliance Certification. The PCI Standard is the result of a collaborative effort formed by the five major credit card companies (Visa International, MasterCard Worldwide, American Express, Discover Financial Services and JCB) to cultivate a well-organized methodology for protecting sensitive payment and consumer data in an effort to prevent electronic payment fraud. All merchants, entities and software solutions that process, store or disseminate electronic payment data must be PCI- DSS compliant.

“Our clients trust us with their consumers’ sensitive credit card data. As the wine industry’s leading merged consumer direct business platform, it’s mission critical for us to protect that data every moment of every day. We’ve worked hard to achieve PCI Compliance Certification, because without data security for our clients and their consumers, nothing else matters.” said Dick Kline, Founder and CEO of eWinery Solutions.

Michael Grow, Chief Technology Officer for eWinery Solutions said the assessment vendor, K3DES, was a great asset in the process. “We matting strongly about using an outside Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) to ensure our systems held up to the most rigorous scrutiny possible. This same level of scrutiny is just not achievable with self-certification using non-qualify staff. We want to thank K3DES and their diligent auditors for their incredibly thorough examination of our advanced systems and protocols.”

K3DES is approved by the PCI Security Standards Council as a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and is an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV), sanctioned to audit, provide the attestation of compliance and perform the quarterly perimeter network vulnerability scans required by PCI.

“We’d also like to thank our clients for their support during the process of attaining PCI Compliance Certification,” Grow said, “We’re fortunate to enjoy such collaborative partnerships.”

Q&A: Do Credit Card Companies Cover ID Theft?


Question by : Do Credit Card Companies Cover ID Theft?
If someone gets a hold of my credit card number and charges a bunch of stuff up online, doesn’t the credit card company cover you for that? I think they should since they should have safeguards and protections in place to make sure the card transaction is real. I can’t do it on my end. And if they do already have this or are responsible for it, why am I constantly being called and asked to sign up for ID Theft protection at $ 9.97 month additionally? Is that an underhanded scheme of some sort to get money back they are losing because they can’t get their act together and protect card holders from fraud? Anyone know there real story here?

Best answer:

Answer by Jack Jack
I had someone steal my CC# and use it to rack up over a 100.00 at a local restaurant. I called my card company, and they were very helpful. Basically asked me some questions, sent me an afffidavit to sign stating I didn’t charge it, and gave me a new card/number. They then went after those involved.

GDS Link Enjoys another Positive Year for 2011 with Growth in Industry Verticals, Continued International Expansion and Product Enhancements


GDS Link Enjoys another Positive Year for 2011 with Growth in Industry Verticals, Continued International Expansion and Product Enhancements

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) January 09, 2012

“GDS reached a milestone in August celebrating its five year anniversary, shared Greenwood. “ I am very pleased with our progress to date and our activities during 2011. Despite a stalled economy we have been able to maintain a level of growth and expansion that further strengthens our position in the risk management solutions space” continued Greenwood.

GDS expanded its industry reach landing clients in the pre-paid card and auto title lending markets who are leveraging the GDS solution to meet their risk management requirements including data access, scorecard model implementation and decisioning. Its footprint within the business leasing market expanded with the addition of three US based leasing organizations. Expansion in the auto lending continued in 2011 as well. In the 4th quarter GDS entered into agreement with a large European Bank who will initially leverage the GDS platform for its Credit Card business in the US.

International expansion, a key focus of GDS Link’s growth strategy, continued in earnest in 2011. In addition to the aforementioned reference to the European Bank, in February GDS opened an office in Buenos Aires which is headed by Gustavo Vercinsky. Vercinsky, with 16 plus years of risk management experience is focused on providing GDS software and solutions to financial service organizations throughout Latin America. In July GDS announced its formal merger with Madrid, Spain based Modellica; a provider of risk management software and scorecard model development. The merger has allowed the two companies to seamlessly deliver their combined assets to the marketplace. Angel Salamanca, the founder of Modellica heads up the European division which was renamed GDS Modellica. GDS also secured a foothold in Eurasia entering into a distributor relationship in Russia. GDS also added integration to Equifax India and Spain and Informa D&B to its data connector library.

In October GDS Link announced the launch of version 2. of its Case Management application, CaseCenter 2.. The application is designed to streamline the process of developing and implementing tailored application processing and loan origination solutions and supporting account management activities. In addition to the release of CaseCenter GDS made several enhancements to its core application, DataView360®, including the ability to perform parallel calls to third party data bureaus reducing overall processing times and a more robust object for supporting segmentation strategies. The GDS Connector Library was further expanded including solutions to more effectively reduce fraud in consumer not present activities.

“Through our product development activities we continue to focus on our goal of providing robust and flexible solutions to the industries we support that meet their varied risk management business requirements while reducing minimal implementation cost and time to market. We look forward to further growth in 2012 and beyond” shared Greenwood.

About GDS Link LLC GDS Link is a global provider of customer-centric risk management and process automation solutions. The company specialized in advanced software designed to support the access and aggregation of disparate data sources and the rapid implementation of custom credit scorecard models and risk management policies. Its technology acts as the enabler for organizations to effectively manage the risk of their customer throughout its lifecycle. Familiar with the large investments made by institutions in their legacy applications, GDS Link’s flagship solution, DataView360® was architected to derive continued value from these systems while delivering enhanced function and flexibility to the risk management community.
