PCI Compliance and the Importance of Network Security Data hackers are relentless. There has been a 54% increase in data breach investigations over this past year — over half of which were from the restaurant and retail industry. The threat does not end at the POS and many major acquiring banks are fining or preparing to fine companies who cannot prove their compliance with PCI DSS. IFRA Data Security Partner, Trustwave, will provide the latest update in data security and steps every retailer should be taking to secure customer data.

The ACA has significant impact on employers. IFRA’s business partner, Gallagher Benefit Services, will review the upcoming reporting requirements and help you prepare to be in compliance. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the ACA requirements and to have a ready resource in Gallagher Benefit Services.
