Summary


Company Background
Our client is an IT services company providing comprehensive mailing solutions to help companies manage their mailing requirements. Their services integrate software, hardware, and communication, offering a full-service solution to help customers with their mailing needs.

Challenges and Requirements
The company handles the printing, fulfillment, and shipping of credit card billing for a large chain of retail department stores. The customer information required to generate bills was being sent via tape through standard, unsecured FTP from the retailer’s z/OS mainframe to the company’s UNIX® server.

The retailer began using SecureZIP to encrypt their sensitive data both at rest and in transit. Although their original reason for purchasing SecureZIP was to comply with PCI mandates imposed by their credit card processing partners, they soon recognized the value in extending SecureZIP to other areas. The IT services company was one of the partners the retailer engaged to use SecureZIP in order to secure data transmissions wherever possible.

The Solution - SecureZIP
The IT services company looked into implementing SecureZIP in their environment. After evaluating both SecureZIP and their data transfer process, they decided to purchase SecureZIP for their z/OS mainframe so communications with their retailer partner would be secure whether the data was transferred via FTP or tape.

After implementing SecureZIP, the company was able to secure data transfer via portable media and also met PCI requirements that were being imposed by credit card processing partners of some of their largest clients.
