Arise Announces its 12th Year of PCI Compliant

Arise Virtual Solutions Inc., the award-winning leader in virtual call center platforms, has once again been certified as Level 1 PCI compliant. This marks the 12th year Arise has maintained this high security standard.

The PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) defines a set of controls designed to ensure any entity involved in the storage, transmittal or processing of credit card data meet security requirements required to protect that data. The recertification requires an extensive audit by an approved PCI QSA (Qualified Security Assessor), continual vulnerability scans, on-going risk analysis, and annual internal and external penetration tests.

Arise enables the provision of homebased call-center services to major corporate customers who value the flexibility and scalability of the crowdsource model, but rely on Arise to ensure the technology solution is well-managed, secure, and PCI compliant.

For over a decade Arise has been a secure fortress of virtual information, confidently handling data and information. With innovative technology and a strong commitment to security, Arise ensures its place as the leading provider of crowdsourced business process outsourcing services.

“Arise’s Level 1 PCI recertification is an important annual achievement,” said Steve Dougherty, Director of Information Security. “It demonstrates our continuing commitment to the security of our customer’s operations and data. Information security is critical to our customers and we make it the cornerstone of our partnerships with them.”
