TransGrade Receives Level 1 PCI DSS Compliance Validation
TransGrade moves up from Level 2 to Level 1 PCI Validation.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA, April 10, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- TransGrade CRM prides itself on safeguarding customer data and maintaining elite status in the vertical market for e-commerce merchants. Achieving Level 1 compliance validation with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)ensures its clientele that their processes meet stringent data security standards.

Trustwave, a leading provider of information security and compliance solutions, performed the compliance validation of TransGrade.

"We are extremely excited - we received our final assessment report this week. Our teams of programmers and developers have worked diligently for several months to attain this milestone and it has all finally paid off," says Michael Brooks, Principal and Founder of TransGrade CRM. "Our e-commerce customers entrust us with their sensitive data, which we have to continuously protect. This is no small feat. Our industry doesn't expect companies our size to go down this avenue. It can be extremely costly and most give up before the process is complete - others don't bother and settle for Level 2 or 3."

The PCI DSS was created in 2004 by Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, JCB, and American Express to standardize the payment card industry regulations and requirements for safeguarding cardholder information and protect against theft and fraud.
