The Affinion Group received recognition when it gained the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) Level 1 fulfillment certification. The said certification is the maximum level of security quality intended for United Kingdom and North America billing transactions. Affinion, a firm that has been PCI compliant since 2004, now enters a group of businesses that attained the Level 1 PCI DSS compliance.

The group is a leading global company that aims to provide consumer commitment solutions. Affinion is also a supplier of programs, and works by improving and extending partnerships to millions of clients intended for retail, e-commerce and service businesses.

Affinion’s recognition provides an increasing number of impressive safety certifications such as the Cybertrust Enterprise Certification and Security Management’s ISO 27001. Cybertrust and ISO designations for Affinion earned its credit as one of the 85 industries in the United States. Furthermore, the group is the sole Affinity dealer with the ISO designation.

Affinion Group’s chief operating officer and executive vice president, Robert G. Rooney, said that as the company aims to raise the standard for such practices, attaining the peak level of PCI DSS certification strengthens the corporation’s lifelong dedication to leadership in data protection.

As always, the group’s number one priority is protecting their clients and customers. The recognition is a proof of how important this aspect of the business is to the company.
