Espion was certified in December 2008 following an independent assessment by SGS Ireland. ISO 27001:2005 Information Security Management System is a standard used to identify, manage and minimise the risks to which information is regularly subjected. Within our Forensic Investigation services division, it guarantees that client data and confidentially is secured to the highest possible standards at all times. This certification demonstrates our commitment to the highest standards of internal security and lets our customers, partners and prospects know that we take the protection of their data very seriously.
In September 2006, the main Credit Card brands (American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide, and Visa, Inc.) set up the independent Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to oversee and manage the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). The PCI DSS applies to all organisations which hold, process, or pass cardholder information. The PCI SSC’s mission is to enhance payment account data security by driving education and awareness of the PCI Security Standards.
Organisations that are authorised to validate adherence to PCI DSS requirements are referred to as “Qualified Security Assessors”. As a certified Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) since September 2008, Espion can assist your organisation in all its PCI compliance requirements.
