Funding Recognizes TrustWave’s Technology Leadership and Positions Company for Accelerated Growth in Merchant Compliance

Phoenix, AZ – TrustWave, which provides industry-leading security assessment and compliance solutions, announced today that it has secured $10 million in funding from FTVentures, a private equity firm that provides venture and late stage growth capital to software and services companies. The financing will enable TrustWave to solidify its leadership position in the merchant compliance market and prepare for entry into new markets and geographies.

TrustWave helps organizations comply with regulations by assessing and improving the security of their networks. First Data Corporation has recently selected the company’s TrustKeeper product, a Web-based vulnerability scanner and policy compliance engine, to help its merchants comply with credit card association requirements for information security. In addition, TrustWave has garnered significant customer interest in TrustWatcher, an Internet content monitoring solution that allows acquiring banks to ensure that their merchants, agents and resellers conform to card association standards while conducting business on the Web. TrustWave is unique in that it provides acquirers and merchants with a comprehensive suite of solutions to facilitate information security and content compliance, as well as expert forensics in the case of a compromise or breach of security.

“This investment represents a tremendous endorsement of TrustWave’s technology and its business strategy,” said TrustWave’s Chairman and CEO Kevin Bradford. “Partnering with FTVentures and their extensive global financial services network will help address the growing need for compliance solutions.”

“TrustWave, with superior technology and an intimate understanding of regulatory requirements, is rapidly extending its leadership position in the merchant compliance sector,” said Richard Garman, partner of FTVentures and new board member of TrustWave. “The problem of identity theft is growing exponentially, driving acquiring banks to seek more rigorous solutions for protecting consumer credit card data. TrustWave offers a proven product set that responds to the needs of many of our financial services Limited Partners.”

TrustWave had been solely funded by founders and angel investors prior to this Series A institutional investment by FTVentures.
