Ryan Receives PCI Certification for Protection of Client Payment Card Information.
Dallas, Texas -- Ryan, the leading tax services firm in North America, with the largest
transaction tax practice in the United States and Canada, announced today that it has achieved
Payment Card Industry (PCI) certification. This certification recognizes and attests that Ryan
maintains a secure technology service solution that protects payment card information in its possession.
Ryan is one of only a few tax consulting firms who have met the Data Security Standard (DSS) set forth
by the PCI, providing an important security validation for clients hiring a tax consultant to review
millions of credit card transactions.
Developed by the PCI Security Standards Council to encourage worldwide data protection, the DSS
is a comprehensive array of specialized requirements for security management policies and procedures,
covering such areas as network architecture, software design, and other critical protective measures.
The DSS is fully supported by the inaugural members of the PCI, including American Express, Discover
Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide, and Visa Inc. International.
“This certification further confirms that the safety and security of our clients’ most sensitive
information is our top priority,” said G. Brint Ryan, Managing Principal of Ryan. “We have
successfully completed the rigorous certification requirements necessary to guarantee our clients
comprehensive data security during our tax recovery and advisory engagements.”
