"We initially began working with Fortrex several years ago when they
performed a PCI Gap Analysis of our security offerings. We have hundreds
of clients that need to meet PCI standards, so it is very important that
we work in a secure environment. Fortrex's assessment was very thorough
and outlined all of the requirements we needed to improve on in order to
become PCI compliant."
