Jesta I.S. is PA-DSS certified by Coalfire

Retailers are assured of PA-DSS and PCI Compliance with Jesta’s Vision Store

New York, NY – January 18, 2010 -Jesta I.S. Inc., a leading supplier of software solutions for the soft goods and specialty markets, announced today that Coalfire has certified Jesta I.S. Inc.’s Vision Store -PA (Payment Application) to be PCI PA-DSS compliant.

Cardholders, retailers and banks all victims of fraud where money and trust have been lost in the past years are concerned with protecting customer account data. As a result, the founders of the Payment Card Industry (PCI); Visa, MasterCard Worldwide, American Express, Discover Financial Services and JCB International have introduced a set of security standards to help ensure that the information associated with a debit or credit card transaction is protected.

These standards comprised of the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) assure accountability on how customer account information is used regarding security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, and software design among others.

Coalfire, a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and Payment Application Qualified Security Assessor (PA-QSA), has certified that the Jesta I.S. Vision Store-PA is in compliance with the PA-DSS. The upgrade to Vision Store 11.0 includes the new Jesta’s Vision Store-PA that provides an innovative approach to isolating cardholder data and associated transaction processing from the rest of the retail enterprise.

Retailers can be assured that a customers’ card data is never exposed; the processing of the card is done in a manner consistent and compliant with the Payment Card Industry standards. The purpose is to give retailers a new safe environment and to help them adapt easily and efficiently to these changes.

“It is very important to retailers that their credit and debit card transactions are secure. Not only are they facing imposed deadlines by the Payment Card Industry, but they are also facing an increased level of anxiety from their own customers’ regarding privacy and security. With this certification, Jesta I.S. is well positioned to help retailers succeed in this challenge” stated Mr. Leslie Belcher, President, Jesta I.S. Inc.
