Founded in 1994, Auric Systems International specializes in helping businesses protect sensitive data and achieve Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance. The company's core mission is to secure payment channels and reduce the complexities and costs associated with handling sensitive information. They offer a suite of products and services, including payment gateways, tokenization (which replaces sensitive card data with a non-sensitive equivalent or "token"), secure hosted payment pages, and consulting to help merchants, e-commerce sites, and service providers process transactions securely without storing cardholder data on their own systems.
