ComplyGuard Networks Releases PCI White Paper

Feb. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- SAN ANTONIO, TX  –  ComplyGuard Networks today released its first in a series of security whitepapers aimed at helping explain in layman’s terms elements of data security impacted by IRS requirements, Sarbanes Oxley, GLBA, HIPAA, and the PCI Data Security mandates.

Authored by James Bibles, QSA (noted authority on the PCI Data Security Standard), this first whitepaper “Why is Using an ASV to Scan My Network Important?” explores what scanning is, what it does, and most importantly, how a standards-based tool set contributes to an organization’s best practices to protect personally identifiable information.

“With changing legislation on the Federal and State levels and evolving industry requirements such as the recent release of the PCI Data security Standard v 2.0, ComplyGuard Networks believes it is a vital part of our role as experts to continue to educate the community at large about risk, how to contain it, and how to maintain a secure environment to protect the data entrusted to the care of our clients” said Michael Johnson, Founder and President of ComplyGuard Networks. “Jim has done a great job of transforming a complex subject into terms most anyone can understand and put into action.”

The whitepaper is available at http://www.complyguardnetworks.com .

The next in the series involving the security and cloud computing will be released at the Security Summit in February. For more information on the Security Summit please visit http://www.securepaymentssummit.com/ .
