Curator Hotel & Resort Collection (“Curator”) today announced that it selected VENZA and subsidiary CyberTek MSSP to offer its member hotels PCI compliance and managed IT services solutions.

“Compliance, cybersecurity, and information technology are all intricately tied together, and through our partnership with VENZA and CyberTek, our members will have access to predictive analytics to pinpoint and mitigate risks immediately,” said Austin Segal, Vice President of Curator Hotel & Resort Collection. “What were once isolated risks and opportunities now spread and cause cascading effects throughout an organization. It can get complicated fast, and this technology will greatly benefit our ownership groups and management companies.”

After evaluating numerous providers, Curator selected VENZA and CyberTek independently as preferred partners due to their global reach, predictive analytics, commitment to customer success, and reputation in the industry. As a leader in hospitality governance, risk, and compliance, VENZA already works with many of Curator’s founding member properties to provide exceptional customer service and security tools such as antivirus software, firewall management, help desk support, log and threat monitoring, and remote monitoring and management.

“Operating hotels in this environment has become even more challenging when facing the ever-present risk of a breach,” said Jeff Venza, CEO of VENZA. “Curator members will now be able to leverage the VENZA GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) platform to consolidate risk and opportunity into one space that provides organization and visibility. This is a unique time to own and operate an independent hotel. Curator has taken the time to curate leading vendors and negotiate effective operating agreements which means members have best in class services and technology at their fingertips. We are thrilled to be part of Curator’s growth and preferred offerings to its members.”
