Release Body: Staten Island, NY (December 15, 2008) – Celerant
Technology, a leader in the retail software industry, received
confirmation that the company has been named as a Visa and PCI
Certified vendor and is now included in Visa’s list of Validated
Payment Applications.
“We
are very proud to be recognized as a PCI Certified vendor,”
stated Ian Goldman, Celerant President and CEO.
“Our software has been tested and re-tested to confirm adherence
to the regulations required by the PCI Council. We consider it
is important to provide our clients with peace of mind and security
by ensuring that sensitive card holder information is kept private
and have worked diligently to achieve this certification.”
The
PCI Security Standards Council has a set of standard
regulations that vary, depending on the size of the merchant.
Before a merchant or vendor can be Visa certified, the
PCI Council verifies that these regulations are met by
reviewing the results of independent, third party tests of payment
processing applications. After the testing is complete, the vendor
or merchant may be qualified for certification.
According
to the Overview of PCI Requirements, “PCI security
standards are technical and operational requirements set by the
PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to protect cardholder
data.” It goes on to say, “The standards apply to
all organizations that store, process or transmit cardholder data—with
the guidance for software developers and manufacturers of applications
and devices used in those transactions.”
As
a certified provider of payment processing software, Celerant
Technology is now able to present an even more advanced
solution to its clients. By providing a payment module that has
been empirically tested by third parties, Celerant ensures
that merchants are receiving software that meets the standards
of the PCI Council. For more information on the PCI Security
Council and its regulations, go to www.pcisecuritystandards.org.
