Rely on a PCI Compliant Data Center

What does it mean to be PCI Compliant?

Under PCI regulations, all merchants that accept credit cards are required to comply with requirements that call for encrypted transmission of cardholder data, periodic network scans, logical and physical access controls, activity monitoring and logging. The standard is intended to reduce fraud and identify security issues that could lead to the compromise of cardholder information. PCI is the amalgamation of two separate sets of security requirements: Visa's Cardholder Information Security Program and MasterCard's Site Data Protection program.


How Did We Meet Requirements

PCI Certification In order to comply with the new requirements, an organization must:
  • build and maintain a secure network,
  • make a concentrated effort to protect cardholder data,
  • maintain a vulnerability management program,
  • implement strong access control measures,
  • regularly monitor and test networks, and
  • maintain a detailed information security policy.
Firewalls, switches, routers and other network appliances and security devices need to comply with the standard. So do Web, database, authentication, DNS, mail, proxy and NTP servers. All purchased and custom Web applications, both internal and external, must also comply.


Why is PCI Compliance Important to You?

The PCI standard lays out strong rules that apply to any network component, server or application included in, or connected to, the cardholder data environment. What this means to you is that your credit card data is safe and that we have the strongest standards of security in place as set forth by VISA and MasterCard.
