Case Study: Primax achieves PCI compliance, streamlined file transfers and $30K+ annual savings with Progress MOVEit Transfer

Primax Meets PCI Compliance Requirements and Makes Life Easier for Its Clients with MOVEit

Primax, a Wakefield, MA company that supports 80 employees and more than 100 clients in the payments space, needed a more secure, easy-to-use file transfer solution after a PCI DSS assessment showed their PGP email approach was insufficient. Key challenges included meeting strict PCI security standards, eliminating the administrative burden of managing encryption keys, handling hundreds of automated daily processes, and giving largely non-technical customers simple web-based access and visibility to files.

Primax selected Ipswitch MOVEit Transfer (MFT Complete), which provides FIPS 140-2 validated AES encryption in transit and at rest, receiver authentication, delivery confirmation, and centralized management. The move eliminated PGP key headaches, consolidated transfers (including WS_FTP), delivered one-click audit trails and fine-grained access controls, and produced significant productivity gains — projected savings of over $30,000 annually — while achieving PCI compliance and greatly reducing administrative overhead.
