STAMFORD, CT--(Marketwire - November 17, 2010) - Protegrity USA, Inc., a leading provider of end-to-end data security solutions, today announced the continued expansion of its Channel Partner Program, with the addition of Secure Technology Integration Group, Ltd. (STIGroup), an information security consulting firm with domain expertise in PCI Compliance. STIGroup specializes in the implementation of solutions that enable corporations to utilize technology productively while maintaining the confidentiality and security of mission-critical information. The company will resell Protegrity's Data Security Platform to its evolving client base, which ranges from small- and medium-sized enterprises to Fortune 500 corporations in industries such as healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and telecom, as well as federal, state and local government agencies.
Given the breadth of the STIGroup customer base, and the wide variety of security needs that base represents, it was essential for them to find a robust and highly scalable data security platform. Protegrity's Data Security Platform and tokenization technology will help STIGroup customers achieve PCI Compliance in a way that is flexible, cost-effective, and scalable. Since PCI compliance represents a significant portion of STIGroup's business, the partnership also greatly benefits Protegrity by positioning its solution squarely in front of the numerous organizations that are looking to overcome the challenges of compliancy.
