PCI Compliance Tool for Payment Processors Launches

PCI DSS is getting some technology love this week from Aria Systems, Inc., a provider of subscription and recurring billing solutions.

The new offering, Aria PCI Acceleration Program, promises PCI DSS compliance for merchants' online transactions by serving as an outsourcer for their credit card management services. The aim of the offering is to reduce the time and expense associated with achieving PCI compliance.

Aria says the program can be deployed within 30 days. The price tag? $30,000, plus monthly fees based on credit card volumes.

The system provides, among many features, collections and remittance, so “that ongoing customer interactions involving payment card information remain secure and PCI-compliant,” according to the company.

The offering is SaaS and is available through Jan. 31, 2010. Read about its other functionality here.
