Entire story (PDF; 165 KB)

Overview

Totally dependent on maintaining a current Payment Card Industry (PCI) certification, NetSpend turned to VeriSign to perform the PCI Data Security Standard assessment. It was successfully accomplished in a short time period, meeting NetSpend’s deadline, without causing any business interruption

Key Challenges

NetSpend needed to substantiate its compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard via an independent assessment.
The company did not want the PCI assessment process to negatively impact daily operations.
NetSpend needed to complete the PCI by a specific near-term deadline.

“The PCI assessment is the most important checkpoint that we go through on a recurring basis. The fact that VeriSign was able to come in and assist us with this, and do the assessment in such a short time period without causing any business interruption, was a huge benefit.”
