PORTLAND, Ore., June 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rentrak Corporation (NASDAQ:RENT), a leader in multi-screen media measurement serving the entertainment and advertising industries, today announced that Jerry Humes, Rentrak's Executive Director, IT Risk Management Group, is the 101st individual in the nation to be awarded the designation of "Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control(TM)" (CRISC(TM)) by ISACA (formerly the Information Systems Audit and Control Association).

It is designed to aid them in using this knowledge to help business enterprises accomplish their objectives by creating risk-based, efficient and effective IS controls.

"We are very proud of Jerry and trust that this professional designation will continue to show our clients Rentrak's commitment to security and privacy. Rentrak is committed to provide assurance that the vast amounts of digital audience data gathered from VOD, online, mobile, and set-top box sources is in the safest possible hands," said David Chemerow, Rentrak's Chief Operating and Financial Officer.
