Elavon, GHL Systems, ID TECH, Independent Purchasing Cooperative, Inc. (IPC) and Voltage Security joined the SPVA, bringing our membership total to more than a dozen elite organizations. Following through on their new year’s resolutions to help the SPVA achieve its mission to increase awareness of security issues, each new member is committed to providing the safest operating environment for their partners and customers.
These companies are leaders in their respective fields and will bring a high level of expertise to the SPVA effort. We look forward to their involvement and hope to engage all our members in the important work of our technical working groups this year.
Here’s what some of our current members are saying about SPVA involvement:
“I am very excited to be involved with SPVA, an organization that provides strong support and guidance to the merchant community around security and specifically PCI compliance. In this confusing and everchanging compliance environment, merchants need a trusted and reliable sourcefor information and solutions. The Secure POS Vendor Alliance is focused on bringing answers to the merchant community and supporting their interests when it comes to consumer payment information security.”
– Doug Dwyre, VP, Business Development, Voltage Security
“Heartland has benefited from our membership in SPVA in several ways. The SPVA creates an environment conducive to moving important industry ideas forward – such as improving security of cardholder data from global payment industry participants. The SPVA also provides a forum for participating member companies to demonstrate their commitment to payments security and re-imagine what is possible within the payments ecosystem and set new standards to help move forward on shared security goals.”
– Bob Carr, Chairman and CEO, Heartland Payment Systems
