Infinity Data Corporation Selects Protegrity for Securing Sensitive Credit Card Information

Bullet-Proof Security and Minimal Performance Impact Among Selection Criteria for Credit Card Processing Company

STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Protegrity Corporation, the leading data security management company, announced today that Infinity Data Corporation, a Brockton, MA-based company offering a wide variety of credit card processing services, has selected and implemented Secure.Data for meeting security requirements imposed by Visa's Cardholder Information Security Program, MasterCard's Site Data Protection Program, and other regulations.

Infinity Data Corporation serves brick-and-mortar, internet, and mail- order retailers with point-of-sale, e-commerce, electronic transfer, detailed account reporting, and other merchant services. "We've always been dedicated to maintaining the highest standards in everything we do," said Joshua Moldover, Infinity Data's database administrator. "That includes going beyond the minimum requirements for data security and implementing the very best solution available."

Protegrity's Secure.Data was selected after a four-month evaluation process. Quality of security, auditing and reporting capabilities, and performance were among the reasons for selection. "We were concerned about performance since we process several million records every day," said Moldover. "Secure.Data met our performance expectations and offered the best value for the dollar. It also was simple to implement, which minimized the resources needed for the effort." Infinity implemented Secure.Data in less than 30 days; the product runs on Infinity's MS SQL databases.

Corporate customers implement Protegrity's solutions to centrally define and manage enterprise database security policies and to comply with current and emerging regulations such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, Visa's Cardholder Information Security Program, MasterCard's Site Data Protection program, as well as California State Bill 1386. Secure.Data selectively encrypts sensitive data at the data-item level for database and storage security. The solution, based on patented security technology, delivers a unique combination of strong data protection and extensive auditing and management reporting capabilities, without impacting existing applications and IT infrastructure.

"Secure.Data meets and exceeds the requirements of all major credit card companies for protecting sensitive customer data," said Robert Fitzgerald, executive vice president of sales for Protegrity. "We're delighted to add Infinity to our client roster."
