Proofpoint Among First in Enterprise Archiving Industry to Achieve PCI Compliance Attestation

Proofpoint Archive customers will meet the
globally recognized industry standards in place to secure and
protect payment account data
Proofpoint, Inc., a leading cybersecurity and compliance
company, today announced its Proofpoint Archive solution has
achieved compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard (PCI DSS). With this attestation, Proofpoint Archive
customers meet stringent industry standards to alleviate security
vulnerabilities and protect payment account data, preventing
cybercriminals from easily stealing and using personal financial
information from payment transactions and processing systems.
Merchants and financial institutions that process and manage
payment card information are on the front line of a high stakes
battle for keeping payment data safe from theft and exploitation.
According to the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report,
95% of data breaches are driven by financially motivated threat
actors. Credit cards, as reported in 2024 by the Federal Trade
Commission, are the top identity theft type, with more than 415,000
identity theft reports filed between new and existing accounts. The
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was
developed to encourage and enhance payment account data security
and facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security
measures globally.
Organizations that do not meet PCI Security Standards remain
prone to vulnerabilities throughout the card-processing ecosystem.
For an entity to pass the PCI DSS assessment process, its
technology providers that could impact the security of the
cardholder data environment (CDE) must be compliant as well.
“Proofpoint continues to invest a double-digit percentage of
revenue into Intelligent Compliance R&D,” said Kevin Leusing,
senior vice president and general manager of Proofpoint’s
Compliance business. “Our PCI Compliance attestation demonstrates
our commitment to innovation and to our customers, which manifests
as meaningful new features or even certification or compliance with
significant standards that are critical for our clients’ business
operations.”
Paving the way for the Enterprise Archiving Ecosystem
Proofpoint is one of the first among enterprise archiving
vendors1 to announce it has fully demonstrated an Attestation of
Compliance (AoC) and has achieved PCI DSS compliance. New and
existing Proofpoint Archiving customers in the United States can
easily subscribe to the optional service. Customers can request to
view Proofpoint’s AoC and Responsibility Matrix for further PCI DSS
validation.
Proofpoint Archive is part of the Proofpoint Intelligent
Compliance package, which mitigates compliance risk and accelerates
investigations by capturing and preserving digital communications.
It offers a unified, human-centric view to monitor digital
communications for corporate and regulatory compliance. And it
enables effective investigations with AI-powered supervision and
blazing fast search.
The PCI DSS attestation reinforces Proofpoint’s leadership in
the archiving and compliance market. Last year, Gartner named
Proofpoint a Representative Vendor in the 2023 Gartner Market Guide
for Digital Communications Governance2. This year, Radicati Group
recognized Proofpoint as a “Top Player” in its Information
Archiving Market Quadrant 2024.
