Configuresoft “Insures” PCI-DSS Compliance Success at Mondial Assistance
ECM Provides Quick and Accurate Clean IT for Leading Travel Insurance
Provider, Successfully Ensuring Security, Regulatory and Operational
Compliance
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.–(EMWNews)–Configuresoft, the world’s leading enterprise configuration management
company, today announced that Mondial Assistance US, a leading provider
of insurance and assistance services, has selected Configuresoft’s
Enterprise Configuration Manager (ECM) to ensure Clean IT by providing
continuous compliance with regulatory and industry requirements such as
PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and
Sarbanes-Oxley.
“Information technology is an integral part of
our business,” said Chris Burroughs, Vice
President, IT Infrastructure Services for Mondial Assistance. “The
data provided by ECM has been invaluable. Before, every person in the
department was tasked with helping with patching and audits. Now, only
one person handles each area, which frees our time for other projects.”
As a travel insurance provider for more than 100 million U.S. customers,
Mondial Assistance cannot afford costly down time. To keep systems
secure and running at peak performance, the IT staff must ensure that
all applications stay current with the latest releases and patches.
Additionally, the company needs to remain in continuous compliance. With
a growing infrastructure, monitoring the system and generating the
required reports was no longer achievable as a manual task.
“Configuresoft not only enables a greater
degree of efficiency in our IT organization, but with CP&C toolkits, we
can have confidence that our systems are continuously secure and
compliant,” added Burroughs.
A key factor in Mondial Assistance’s
selection of ECM was Configuresoft’s Center
for Policy & Compliance (CP&C), which is comprised of policy experts,
former auditors and contributors to Federal mandates and standards. CP&C
prepares a comprehensive series of toolkits – automated checks and
controls that include access control, audit control and access change
monitoring for Configuresoft customers.
“ECM’s Clean IT
compliance features allow Mondial Assistance to perpetually audit its
critical servers to ensure they meet industry-standard compliance
guidelines,” said Dave Shackleford, Director
of Configuresoft’s Center for Policy and
Compliance. “With ECM, Mondial Assistance can
easily view, assess and implement a process of continuous compliance
across its entire enterprise, effectively managing constantly evolving
standards.”
