HostMySite Announces PCI Compliance
Allowing Customers to Focus on Building their Business Instead of Monitoring Security Systems
Newark, DE, May 11, 2009 - HostMySite announced today that it has successfully completed a Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Report on Compliance (ROC) and has established itself as a PCI compliant service provider, meaning lower costs and lessened responsibilities to customers who utilize HostMySite dedicated server and colocation solutions. HostMySite contracted with Trustwave, a PCI Qualified Security Assessor, to perform a third party assessment of service offerings to customers looking for PCI security solutions.
"Growing varieties of businesses are looking to lower their IT costs and lessen their compliance responsibilities. Outsourcing hardware and network infrastructure management to hosting providers like HostMySite assists businesses in accomplishing those goals," commented Joel Daly, COO at HostMySite. "Being PCI compliant provides assurance to HostMySite customers that the industry standards for security, confidentiality and protection of cardholder data are upheld."
The standards defined by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) exist to develop, enhance, disseminate and assist with the understanding of payment account security and protection for cardholder data. Hosting.com's service offerings assist businesses in meeting their merchant PCI certification requirements for processing card transactions via their Web applications.
"The benefits of hosting with a compliant host are immense," stated Timothy Kaufman, HostMySite Director of Compliance. "Choosing HostMySite as a hosting provider reduces a customer's monitoring and maintenance overhead. By managing and maintaining physical security, operating system patches and other security services, we provide our customers with reduced costs and peace of mind so they turn their attention to the primary goal of growing their business."
