Alon Brands Streamlines PCI Compliance Audits With Acumera

DALLAS -- Alon Brands Inc. is successfully using Acumera's software and services to accelerate its Payment Card Industry compliance audits.

"Acumera has been a reliable and trustworthy partner of Alon for several years," said Amir Wurzel, vice president and chief information officer for Alon Brands. "With the unique combination of Acumera's helpful PCI Tools [solution] and the recent service provider ROC, which clearly defines the scope of the services, we expect to reduce our annual PCI audit costs and, most importantly, reinforce our data security controls."

Acumera's PCI suite of products are designed to support ongoing security and compliance. "One of Acumera's primary goals is to reduce the headaches our customers experience in maintaining their PCI DSS compliance, which is why we went through the process for the perimeter security services we provide," said Brett Stewart, Acumera's chief technology officer.

Dallas-based Alon Brands, which operates nearly 300 convenience stores in Texas and New Mexico, was one of the first customers to evaluate Acumera's PCI Audit Support.

Founded in 2002, Austin, Texas-based Acumera provides connection services to multi-site retailers, specializing in the reduction of headaches caused by network management and security issues.
