AccuCode, Inc., is excited to announce AO:Compliance™, the latest solution set in the AccuCode Objects suite of turnkey technology solutions. AO:Compliance™ is a comprehensive solution set tailored especially for retail merchants, for achieving and maintaining compliance for the PCI data security standards (PCI DSS).

CENTENNIAL, CO. February 9, 2011 - AccuCode Inc. announces AO:Compliance™, a new solution set that helps retail merchants become and stay compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). AO:Compliance™ is a comprehensive PCI Compliance management program which includes all necessary audit services and best in class technology that is certified to comply with the PCI DSS. AO:Compliance™ is specifically designed for retail merchants who seek the benefits of having a single source solution provider for PCI Compliance.

AccuCode provides mobile computing solutions, automated data collection (bar code and RFID) technologies, point-of-sale technologies and more to retail customers and has for the past fifteen years. AccuCode developed AO:Compliance™ to help retail merchants meet or exceed the PCI DSS compliance requirements; a mandatory set of standards every merchant accepting credit or debit cards must meet.

All retailers (regardless of their size or payment card transaction volume) must follow the PCI DSS guidelines to achieve compliance or face subsequent penalties - up to and including loss of their ability to accept payment cards as a means to conduct their business. For many retailers (especially small retailers), PCI DSS can seem very complex since it covers a wide array of technologies. These technologies include, but, are not limited to: POS devices, network design, network configuration, network equipment (e.g., routers), wireless infrastructure and devices, storage devices, software applications, access control policies and procedures, employee training, physical access control, and much more. AO:Compliance™ is a comprehensive PCI compliance ecosystem consisting of hardware, software, consulting and professional services, design, installation and configuration services, and support designed to get and keep the retail merchant PCI compliant.

AccuCode is partnering with some of the leading vendors in the security and compliance industry (including a close relationship with Trustwave) to bring all the necessary products and services under one umbrella offering - AO:Compliance™. Included in this launch, AccuCode is thrilled to announce a partnership with the National Grocers Association (N.G.A.). As a result of this partnership, AccuCode becomes the exclusive end-to-end PCI compliance solutions provider for the N.G.A. and it’s members.

“Technology is perceived by many retailers as complex, costly and risky. The liability, brand damage and public relations costs of a security breach, can be very large. No retailer wants to undergo that nightmare scenario. Since no hard monetary amount can be assigned to the risk of a breach, it’s easy for many retailers to take a wait and see strategy. However, higher processing fees and various penalties introduced by being non-compliant to the PCI DSS are now understood, as is the costs associated with not securing retail systems and processes. For many retailers achieving PCI compliance and maintaining compliance in the future, becomes the most daunting technical challenge they have ever faced - especially with little understanding of what systems will have to be replaced or updated, how long it will take or how much it will cost. AO:Compliance™ has been designed in cooperation with retailers and security experts to take the confusion, risk and uncertainty out of becoming compliant and maintaining compliancy to the PCI DSS. AccuCode will be the single point of contact for any sized retailer to call with a question, commence exploration, check their system, run system scans, fix loopholes, upgrade software, upgrade hardware, certify their compliance and much more. PCI solved! One phone number. One representative. Turnkey solutions.” said Kevin Price, Founder and CEO of AccuCode, Inc.
