Los Angeles, CA – March 25 2010

Sam Naficy, President/CEO of DTT Surveillance, the premier manufacturer of digital surveillance technology and auditing services for the restaurant and hospitality industries, announced that DTT has joined the PCI Security Standards Council. As a participating organization, DTT will work with the Council to evolve the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS), as well as, other payment card data protection standards as it relates to Video Surveillance Systems that integrate with PCI Compliant POS Systems.

The PCI DSS, endorsed by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc., requires merchants and service providers that store, process or transmit customer payment card data to adhere to security controls and processes that ensure data integrity. More information on the council and the standard can be found at www.pcisecuritystandards.org

As DTT Surveillance participates with the PCI Security Council it will now have access to the latest payment card security standards and be able to provide feedback and become part of a growing community that now includes more than 500 organizations. In an era of increasingly sophisticated attacks on systems, adhering to PCI DSS assures an entity’s best protection against data criminals. Moreover, as a participating organization, DTT Surveillance is adding its voice to the process.

“The PCI Security Standards Council is committed to helping everyone involved in the payment chain [to] protect consumer payment data,” said Bob Russo, General Manager of the PCI Security Standards Council. “By participating in the standards [and] setting process[es], DTT Surveillance demonstrates they are playing an active part in this important end goal.”

Naficy stated “as the leading provider of surveillance solutions for the restaurant industry it is imperative that we take a leadership role in this most important aspect. The PCI Council provides such a forum encompassing many of the world’s great companies. Having installed nearly 25,000 locations without a single data breach and with broad approvals within the restaurant space, the Council felt that we can bring an unmatched point of view that would benefit all of the hospitality industry.”

“As Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) continue to evolve, it is important for technological companies to proactively provide technical solutions to help clients reduce risk and stay compliant,” said Vic Herrera, CIO of DTT. Herrera further added, “we continue to develop safe solutions that help reduce the complexity that PCI compliance has introduced to our restaurant and hospitality clients.”
