Mothercare
, the UK baby products retailer, is to meet its commitment to
thePCI
Data Security Standardwith a combination
ofImprivata's
Onesignauthentication appliance and
one-time-password tokens from Secure Computing.
Mothercare CFO Neil Harrington, said, "Security of payment data
is a critical concern for the whole retail sector."
The OneSign appliance provides up to 750 staff with
single
sign-on and
strong
authentication to the applications to which they have
access.
Most employees have been issued with
one-time-password
tokens from Secure
Computing. Along with username and passwords, the
one-time-password tokens and Secure Computing provide network
access to staff.
Staff who work in a multi-user workstation environment will
access their work via biometric fingerprint readers. Once the
readers let the staff into the network, Onesign Single Sign-On
automatically logs the user onto the applications to which they
have access.
All organisations that handle card payments are required to meet
the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), a set of security
requirements based on industry best practice.
