Configuresoft "Insures" PCI-DSS Compliance Success at Mondial Assistance

ECM Provides Quick and Accurate Clean IT for Leading Travel
Insurance Provider, Successfully Ensuring Security, Regulatory and
Operational Compliance
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(Business Wire)--
Configuresoft, the world's leading enterprise configuration
management company, today announced that Mondial Assistance US, a
leading provider of insurance and assistance services, has selected
Configuresoft's Enterprise Configuration Manager (ECM) to ensure Clean
IT by providing continuous compliance with regulatory and industry
requirements such as PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard) and Sarbanes-Oxley.

"Information technology is an integral part of our business," said
Chris Burroughs, Vice President, IT Infrastructure Services for
Mondial Assistance. "The data provided by ECM has been invaluable.
Before, every person in the department was tasked with helping with
patching and audits. Now, only one person handles each area, which
frees our time for other projects."

As a travel insurance provider for more than 100 million U.S.
customers, Mondial Assistance cannot afford costly down time. To keep
systems secure and running at peak performance, the IT staff must
ensure that all applications stay current with the latest releases and
patches. Additionally, the company needs to remain in continuous
compliance. With a growing infrastructure, monitoring the system and
generating the required reports was no longer achievable as a manual
task.

"Configuresoft not only enables a greater degree of efficiency in
our IT organization, but with CP&C toolkits, we can have confidence
that our systems are continuously secure and compliant," added
Burroughs.

A key factor in Mondial Assistance's selection of ECM was
Configuresoft's Center for Policy & Compliance (CP&C), which is
comprised of policy experts, former auditors and contributors to
Federal mandates and standards. CP&C prepares a comprehensive series
of toolkits - automated checks and controls that include access
control, audit control and access change monitoring for Configuresoft
customers.

"ECM's Clean IT compliance features allow Mondial Assistance to
perpetually audit its critical servers to ensure they meet
industry-standard compliance guidelines," said Dave Shackleford,
Director of Configuresoft's Center for Policy and Compliance. "With
ECM, Mondial Assistance can easily view, assess and implement a
process of continuous compliance across its entire enterprise,
effectively managing constantly evolving standards."
