Sep 14, 2026

SecurityMetrics is contributing to GEAR and announcing AI solutions at this year's PCI SSC NA Community Meeting.

Orem, Utah, United States, September 14, 2026 -- SecurityMetrics has participated for the last eight years in PCI SSC’s GEAR (The Global Executive Assessor Roundtable) since its creation in July of 2018. As participants in GEAR, SecurityMetrics aims to improve the cybersecurity of businesses to help protect organizations and customers alike from cyber threats, and to help refine the PCI compliance process for its customers. SecurityMetrics will be attending the PCI SSC North America and Europe 2026 Community Meetings, and will be contributing to GEAR’s efforts again.

“It has been great to be members of GEAR over the years, because it strengthens our connection to the PCI Council and allows us to provide feedback to the council from the perspective of the QSA companies on the standards and programs that support them,” says Gary Glover, Vice President of Assessments. “It also allows QSA companies to interact during meetings and help shape the QSA community as a whole.”

“We are excited to be in GEAR and to share our future technologies that go beyond PCI compliance like our Spectre AI solution,” says CEO Brad Caldwell. “These advancements in the field make e-commerce safer for both consumers and merchants.”

Along with SecurityMetrics’ participation with GEAR at the PCI SSC North America Community Meeting, they will have a tech talk titled ‘6.4.3 and 11.6.1 Monitoring Lessons Learned,’ which will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 16, at 9:35 a.m. in the Ballroom Foyer. Attendees can stop by Booth #33 to learn about AI threat solutions through its Cybersecurity Assessment Team (CAT), discover PCI compliance solutions, and talk with Jeremy King, former Regional VP, EMEA of the PCI SSC.
