earthwave gets PCI DSS certification E-mail

earthwave has become the first Australian managed security provider to receive the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Attestation of Compliance.

PCI DSS compliance has been mandatory since 2007 for Australian businesses that handle cardholder information, and recent changes have required merchants that outsource the management of security infrastructure to select a certified provider.

earthwave's PCI DSS certification was carried out by Bridge Point.

"PCI DSS specifies 12 requirements entailing many security technologies and business processes, and reflects most of the usual best practices for securing sensitive information. During the assessment process, earthwave achieved all these requirements and was awarded the certificate,” said Daryl Haines, qualified security assessor at Bridge Point.

The earthwave Secure Internet Gateway has also achieved certification to the Highly Protected classification level by the Australian government's Defence Signals Directorate (DSD).
