AlertSite Joins Forces With Sunera to Provide Complete Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance and Security Scanning Services
Solution enables merchants and credit card service providers to achieve and maintain PCI compliance
COCONUT CREEK, Fla., Feb. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- AlertSite®, a leading provider of web performance measurement, systems monitoring and security vulnerability scanning services, today announced it has partnered with Sunera®, a leading provider of risk and controls consulting services, to provide a complete PCI compliance and security scanning solution enabling merchants and credit card service providers to achieve and maintain PCI compliance.
The PCI compliance and security scanning solution announced today ensures the confidentiality, integrity and availability of cardholder data while minimizing the impact on business operations. Together with Sunera, a PCI Qualified Data Security Company (QDSC) and Qualified Scan Vendor, AlertSite will now offer enhanced PCI compliance along with its acclaimed web performance and security vulnerability scanning. This PCI compliance and security scanning solution provides data security assessments, network security scans, remediation assistance and compliance reporting, as well as daily or weekly security scans and performance monitoring.
"As the credit card industry continued to raise the bar for credit card security certifications, we began to look for the best consulting firm in the PCI compliance business," notes Ken Gross, president and CEO of AlertSite. "We realized customers were facing increasing compliance hurdles and liability risks ranging up to $500,000. Sunera met our rigorous requirements and was the obvious choice," he added.
Andrew Cannata, Managing Director at Sunera said, "Combining PCI compliance with AlertSite's daily/weekly scanning and performance monitoring increases our capability to provide our customers with the assurance they are protected from malicious intrusion and liability risk."
All AlertSite and Sunera information security teams are Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (CISSP) and Qualified Data Security Professionals (QDSP). Each QDSP has successfully met requirements to provide PCI data security assessment services and issue reports on compliance. PCI compliance validations produced by companies that are not Qualified Data Security Companies will not be accepted by the PCI consortium of credit card companies.
Other security services offered by AlertSite and Sunera include audit and technology services that help organizations maximize the benefit they receive from complying with mandatory regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLB and privacy legislation compliance assessments.
