Case Study: Fred Hollows Foundation NZ achieves PCI compliance with WatchGuard

Fred Hollows Foundation NZ achieves PCI compliance in 2 weeks with WatchGuard

The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ, a non-profit working to restore sight in the Pacific, faced the challenge of achieving Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance to securely process millions in charitable donations. They needed to strengthen their IT security, access controls, and threat detection to protect donor cardholder data and meet complex regulatory standards.

Working with WatchGuard and a technology partner, the Foundation implemented a WatchGuard Unified Threat Management T70 appliance with the Total Security Suite and AuthPoint multi-factor authentication. This solution allowed them to achieve full PCI compliance ahead of schedule, ensuring uninterrupted funding. WatchGuard significantly strengthened their overall cybersecurity posture, improved staff security practices, and provided the reliable, secure IT environment essential for maintaining their reputation.
