NYC area retail IT consultant one of only 7 companies worldwide to achieve the QIR designation from the PCI Security Standards Council

pci-qir-logoHoboken, NJ (Vocus) July 10, 2015 – eMazzanti Technologies, a New York City area IT consultant and managed services provider, today announced that it has completed high-level retail data security training to prevent retail point-of-sale (POS) data theft.

eMazzanti is currently one of only seven companies worldwide to be qualified as a PCI Qualified Integrator under the stringent certification standards of the PCI Security Standards Council Qualified Integrators and Resellers (QIR) program.

“The QIR qualification demonstrates eMazzanti’s commitment to combat POS payment security breaches with best-in-the-world training and service delivery excellence,” stated Carl Mazzanti, CEO, eMazzanti Technologies. “eMazzanti’s program of continuous technology education places our employees among the best trained POS technicians available.”

In the wake of numerous merchant POS breaches, the QIR program was launched in late 2012 to strengthen point-of-sale security. Stephen W Orfei, General Manager of the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, said the QIR
Program takes aim at one of the most vulnerable security points in the payments chain, the point of sale.

To earn the QIR qualification, two eMazzanti Technologies employees received specialized training and qualification on the secure installation and maintenance of validated payment applications into merchant environments with an emphasis on supporting client’s PCI DSS compliance efforts. Successful completion of the training and testing at a certified testing center earned eMazzanti a place on the PCI SSC global list of QIR Companies, a trusted resource for merchants to select PCI approved partners.

“The QIR qualification means that businesses can be confident in eMazzanti’s PCI compliance services,” said Jennifer Mazzanti, President, eMazzanti Technologies. “POS solutions should be installed, configured, and managed by trained technicians to properly support PCI DSS.”

Today’s release is the latest in a series of announcements by eMazzanti Technologies introducing IT products, services and capabilities to provide retailers with a single-source technology partner. Since March 2015, eMazzanti announced that it is offering EMV Chip and Pin technology migration services, credit cards for testing and training, and full merchant services.

Earlier this year, eMazzanti was named as the first WatchGuardOne Platinum Partner and joined the PCI Security Standards Council as a Participating Organization. The IT consulting firm will work with the Council to improve payment data security worldwide through the ongoing development of the PCI Security Standards.
