SPVA NEWSLETTER VOLUME 4 SPVA Welcomes T.K. Cheung as new Chairman of the Board
Hypercom’s vice president global quality & security takes the helm of the SPVA as the founding members rotate leadership positions heading into the organization’s second year. T.K. Cheung talks SPVA accomplishments and goals.
What were the most important accomplishments of the SPVA in its inaugural year?
I think our membership numbers (20) speak for themselves and not only the quantity of our members –
but the quality. Our members represent the leading companies in the industry. In addition, the
establishment of our Technical Working Groups and the work that is being shared is significant and
stands to have a lasting impact on the industry, garnering widespread recognition of our organization. What is your vision for year two?
I would like to continue to grow the organization and double our numbers this year. In addition, we look forward to the publication of more white papers from the other TWGs, that will be just as impactful as the recent End-to-End Encryption Security Requirements document. What do you see as the biggest challenges for the SPVA?
Hands down, the adoption of SPVA guidelines and recommendations as well as attracting retailers and the card associations to join the SPVA is one of the biggest challenges. This will be a critical step for us as their input is valuable and will help shape our future. What are three things that are not generally known about you?
I built my first computer from a kit in 1977. It was called a Nascom 1, and I still have it.
My accent is English, not Australian, and I’m fluent in Cantonese. Current personal goal? To break 100 playing golf.
