Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

My company has to maintain compliance with industry governances such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.  Internally, our IT security policy is to encrypt any network transfer that contains private data (i.e. credit card, SSN, account numbers, etc.) to protect against insider threat.  

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)      

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

 

We will need to migrate off of using the CICS Transaction Gateway/CICS Universal Client products and look for another solution.  This would require both an investment in development effort as well as possible additional costs towards aquiring another solution.
