I don’t think I’ve given our Lab Network its due spotlight on the blog. No excuses since it’s a fantastic opportunity for labs and SPVA members alike.

For anyone who doesn’t know what I’m referring to, the elevator pitch about SPVA’s Lab Network is this: It’s a group of participating labs that work with our members and Technical Working Groups on security evaluations and implementation guidelines. Ultimately, the Lab Network will work with its peers and with other members to share best practices and improve security throughout the POS industry.

So what are the benefits? Here are five reasons why a lab would want to join:

·          Recognition throughout the industry as a qualified and effective lab, operating on the forefront of security

·          Access to SPVA’s Technical Working Groups and committee members representing leading payment companies

·          Ability to share best practices and navigate through challenges with PCI’s top players

·          Promotion through SPVA’s website, newsletter, press releases and social media channels

·          Permission to download and use the SPVA Lab Network logo

And we’re not letting just anyone in. There are requirements to meet and applications to fill out. For more details about the details, I’m your guy. Email or call – or both!
