PCI Level 1 Compliant Service Provider

As a service provider Hosting.com has undergone an onsite physical PCI assessment executed by a PCI security council recognized Qualified Security Assessor (QSA). During the assessment the QSA reviewed our policies and procedures, our physical security measures and dedicated network segment to verify that we meet the PCI standards. The conclusion of the assessment resulted in the QSA issuing a satisfactory Report on Compliance (ROC). In accordance with PCI standards, Hosting.com also has quarterly vulnerability scans performed of our dedicated core networking infrastructure by an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). The Hosting.com ROC along with vulnerability scan results were then submitted to Visa for review. Upon completion of the review Visa determined Hosting.com to be a PCI compliant service provider.

What is PCI Compliance?

With the dramatic rise in identity theft and cyber crime the credit card industry realized that they needed to be the driving force in establishing standards for protecting customer's credit card information. The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard offers a single approach to safeguarding sensitive data for all card brands.
