You want to conduct business securely on the web and avoid unwanted consequences. For these reasons it is important to make sure your site is PCI Compliant and with a hosting provider that can help you get and maintain compliance. At CWI hosting, you get some of the most comprehensive PCI hosting solutions options available. Is this applicable to you? If any customers of your organization ever pays directly using a credit card or debit card, then the PCI DSS requirements apply to you, large or small.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a list of requirements made to ensure that ALL companies that process, store or
transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. You can read more about it here.

If you electronically store cardholder data post authorization or if your processing systems have any internet connectivity, a quarterly scan by a PCI SSC Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) is required once per quarter. Every 90 days you are required to submit a passing scan. Merchants should submit compliance documentation and you will need the help of your web hosting provider to ensure you pass these scans or correct any issues found. This is often difficult with shared hosting, and CWI has several solutions we can you with. Our experts will work with you to find a solution for your Web site. Firewalls, IP logging, limited access database servers, and compliance are just some of the solutions we use.
