PCI Compliant Data Center

Consider the superior value and quality service you will experience when trusting Colocation America and YESPCI.com with your managed PCI DSS compliance. Our certified staff will work diligently to remove the hassle and risk associated with the PCI DSS standards that data centers for businesses experience.

PCI DSS standards were created in 2004 to curb high-profile security breaches by the founding brands of the PCI Security Standards Council, which include but are not limited to, American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, Mastercard Worldwide and Visa Inc. International. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) serves the purpose of protecting consumer security for all businesses that process transact ions using credit cards. Through these standards, necessary procedures are implemented to ensure secure environments for credit card processing. The standards are updated by the Council, as needed, to stay up-to-date with new or modified requirements. To be considered PCI DSS compliant, businesses must meet all of the required standards sufficiently.

 

Guaranteeing security and meeting requirements can be a tricky task for some businesses and the fine imposed for violations doesn't make it any easier. However, at Colocation America and YESPCI.com we remove the complexity for you because we understand risk and risk management.

 

There are 12 core standards for PCI DSS compliance with underlying requirements:

 

 

Requirement 1: Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data

Requirement 2: Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters 

 

 

Requirement 3: Protect stored cardholder data

Requirement 4: Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks 

 

 

Requirement 5: Use and regularly update anti-virus software

Requirement 6: Develop and maintain secure systems and applications 

 

 

Requirement 7: Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know

Requirement 8: Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access

Requirement 9: Restrict physical access to cardholder data 

 

 

Requirement 10: Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data

Requirement 11: Regularly test security systems and processes 

 

 

Requirement 12: Maintain a policy that addresses information security 

 

 

There are four merchant levels that businesses can be ranked with and for many, understanding these levels is the first step to compliance.  Colocation America and YESPCI.com help you to understand and our commitment to quality service will drive your business to success.
