One Safe Place Media Offers Payment Card Industry Compliant Backup

One Safe Place Media Corp., an offsite data protection and online business backup companies, was part of the exhibitors at the 2012 Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition & Conference (HITEC) June 25 – 28. More than five thousand people and 300 companies were expected to attend the event in Baltimore, Maryland.

As the economy continues to struggle, attendees were looking for ways to increase sales and protect their profits. In recent years, leaders of the Hospitality Financial & Technology Professionals (HFTP) association have encouraged members to invest in their business operations so that they are prepared for success. The ugly truth is that more businesses fail after a downturn than during one because of poor actions taken during the recession that do not position companies for renewed growth.

One key element strongly encouraged by HTFP is making sure business data is properly protected with a PCI compliant backup process. A 2010 study [The 2010 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report] shows that hackers are targeting the hospitality industry. The numbers are staggering. Statistics show 40% of the breaches investigated are in hospitality – that’s twice as much as the next closest industry.

"The risks commonly found in the Hospitality industry are truly alarming", states One Safe Place, business development, Rick Baird. "It would be verging on irresponsible of us to not attend HITEC and do our best to help organizations learn how to protect themselves from critical data loss."

One Safe Place now counts four years of meeting the standards of the payment card industry for protecting the identity of credit and debit cardholders. One Safe Place’s data protection solutions which fulfill these security requirements include OSP•EVAULT online server backup and Stratos from OSP for PC/laptop and Mac backup.

"Security is the vital foundation of our online and offsite business backup solutions," said Scott Scheffe, director of IT, One Safe Place. "We are committed to testing and confirming our processes meet the standards set forth by the PCI Security Standards Council."

"AT&T would like to congratulate One Safe Place Media Corp, an authorized AT&T partner, on their continued commitment to achieving PCI Data Security Compliance," said Brad Shortal, Signature Client director, AT&T. "Meeting the stringent standards of the payment card industry for protecting the identity of credit and debit cardholders is vitally important to our customers."

In addition to achieving PCI compliance, One Safe Place’s data protection solutions, OSP•EVAULT and Stratos from OSP, offer data security features to safeguard information during transmission, storage and recovery. Data protection solutions securely migrate customer information to the cloud and manage it long term. All data is held at One Safe Place’s secure, geographically dispersed data centers.
