Case Study: Background Investigations, Inc. achieves PCI & EI3PA compliance and saves two months of IT time with SecureWorks

Background Investigations, Inc. - Customer Case Study

Background Investigations, Inc., a credit‑reporting and tenant‑screening firm that stores about 5 million consumer records and serves 5,000 customers across 48 states, faced the challenge of protecting highly sensitive data and meeting strict PCI DSS and Experian EI3PA requirements with just one IT security person. To reduce risk, ensure compliance and limit time and cost burdens, Background Investigations engaged Dell SecureWorks and its Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment services.

Dell SecureWorks delivered quarterly external vulnerability scans, annual manual penetration testing and on‑site audits as part of its Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment services, which kept Background Investigations, Inc. PCI‑ and EI3PA‑compliant and free of security breaches. The engagement provided detailed reporting and expert guidance, saved roughly two months of IT time per year, and gave the company greater confidence and peace of mind thanks to Dell SecureWorks’ expertise.
