Chief Information Security Officer Role Created
PCI-PAL PLC (AIM: PCIP), PCI Pal, the secure payments provider
to contact centres, is pleased to announce the creation of the key
role of Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and,
additionally, the appointment of a new Chief Technology Officer
(CTO).
Effective today, Geoff Forsyth, a director of the Company, has
taken up the new role of CISO. This important role is dedicated to
maintaining the Group's existing information security strategy and
standards to protect our customers' data as we expand our
operations globally and increasingly work with enterprise-sized
channel partners. PCI DSS certification, information regulatory
compliance, risk management and other relevant data security
requirements are at the core of our organisation and this position
reinforces our commitment to ensuring data security and global
regulatory compliance, now and in the future.
To date, Geoff has been the Group's CTO and the key architect of
PCI Pal's compliance and security practices. Following this change
in role, effective today, the Group is pleased to announce that
Hugh James, who is currently Head of Engineering, has been
appointed as CTO, a non-board position.
Based in the UK, Hugh brings a wealth of experience specific to
DevOps and telephony for software services operating in Cloud
environments. In addition to his PCI experience, his prior time at
industry players such as NewVoiceMedia is highly relevant as we
scale our services globally. As CTO, Hugh will be responsible for
the Group's strategy in the commercial deployment of all our
technology skills and assets, and the integration of PCI Pal Cloud
technology into our channel partners' products.
Commenting on the appointments, James Barham, Chief Executive
Officer said:
"PCI Pal's mission is to safeguard reputation and trust. The
management of Information Security is therefore vital to our
ability to achieve this, and I am extremely pleased that we are now
able to allow Geoff to focus all his energy and skill on this key
area. As PCI compliance and related regulatory enforcement of data
security increasingly captures board-level attention, Geoff's deep
experience will also help the Company to expand its industry
prominence as a thought-leader in the field."
Barham added, "I am equally pleased that Hugh has agreed to pick
up the baton from Geoff in the role of CTO in leading the next
phase of development of our world class cloud technology. Hugh's
strong mix of both relevant technology and contact center industry
specific experience will be of significant benefit to our global
partners, as we strive to be the preferred solution provider that
technology vendors globally turn to for achieving PCI compliance
for payments by phone."
