e-Travel Maintains Security and Data Protection with TruSecure Perimeter Re-Certification

Strict Standards and Strong Accountability Ensure Customer Peace of Mind

Waltham, Mass. – April 15, 2003 – e-Travel, the global leader in online travel solutions and the e-commerce business unit of Amadeus GTD, has once again achieved TruSecure® Corporation’s Perimeter Certification in North America. This re-certification, which covers the hosting operations for e-Travel® Aergo (US), a Web-based travel booking tool for corporations and business travel agencies, reflects the successful completion of an extensive information security assurance process, compliance with TruSecure Corporation’s Essential Practices, and validation of risk reduction. As one of the first companies in the travel industry to originally achieve this significant security milestone in 2002, the re-certification underscores e-Travel’s ongoing commitment to offering the most secure, reliable, online travel solutions to corporations and travel agencies worldwide.

TruSecure Corporation is the leading security intelligence and services provider, offering the only fully integrated, enterprise risk management services on the market. The re-certification of e-Travel’s North American hosting operation validates that e-Travel continues to meet TruSecure’s high level of security and protection from external infiltration for its hosted customer information, and creates controls to define and enforce internal information technology policies and procedures.

“Now, more than ever, protecting highly sensitive employee and financial data is a key concern for companies embarking on an online travel management strategy. The TruSecure Perimeter re-certification confirms our continued dedication to providing customers with a world-class hosting operation that offers the highest levels of data protection, while consistently delivering the reliability, scalability and performance companies have come to expect from e-Travel,” said Scott Gutz, CEO and president for e-Travel North America.

TruSecure has certified that e-Travel is in compliance with the 120 TruSecure Essential Practices that apply to its physical and electronic infrastructure. These Essential Practices address security in logical layers to achieve maximum synergistic effect. In order to maintain high standard levels, TruSecure will provide e-Travel with continued consulting and risk management services and update the company to new potential security risks as they occur. As part of the re-certification, e-Travel will test its technology systems through this security audit process every three months.

The TruSecure Perimeter Certification is part of TruSecure’s integrated security program that addresses the most significant sources of risk across all dimensions of an organization, providing security assurance in six major areas of risk: electronic threats and vulnerabilities, malicious code, privacy, human factors, physical security, and downtime.
