Collection Sciences Joins Tech Lock Certified Program

Chicago – Tech Lock, Inc. announces the joining of Collection Sciences, to its Tech Lock Certified™ program. Tech Lock Certified™ is a holistic compliance assessment designed to provide the agencies and services providers in the ARM industry cost savings by combining multiple regulatory and industry standard control objectives into a single audit that provides their clients with a true data security compliance validation. A Tech Lock Certified™ assessment is based on a pre-determined set of controls to validate a company’s compliance.

Unlike a SAS70 audit, a Tech Lock Certified™ audit is designed to ensure compliance with a number of data security laws and standards related to the consumer information that Collection Sciences stores. These standards and laws include but are not limited to PCI DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, GLBA, ISO 27002, Red Flags, Massachusetts 201 CMR 17.00: Standards for the Protection of Personal Information of Residents of the Commonwealth, and Nevada’s Personal Information Law NRS.

“Our analytics and business process outsourcing business revolves around the evaluation and management of our client’s valuable operational and consumer data and the protection of that data is one of our core responsibilities and goals as an organization,” says Kristofer Lyon, Collection Sciences, Founder & Managing Partner. “The Tech Lock Certified™ program is a great fit for our business model. At any given time we are subject to multiple regulatory standards along with several state and federal laws pertaining to the consumer information we access and manage.”

“Tech Lock’s information technology and security experience having worked for companies within the ARM industry has allowed us to develop a program that works for organizations of all sizes,” says Michael Wright, Tech Lock’s chief security officer. “While there are many controls that are evaluated as part of our holistic data security audit, Tech Lock works within the confines of each agency or service providers business model to help ensure achievement of our Tech Lock Certified™ program.”
