SAN ANTONIO, TX. January 19, 2006 -- XRamp Security Services, Inc. has announced their SecureTrust® PCI Compliance solutions to aid in protecting organizations who accept credit card payments from security breaches and fraud. SecureTrust® solutions also assist organizations in protecting themselves from the penalties which can be imposed whenever a breach of cardholder information occurs. Merchants working with XRamp and who maintain current PCI compliance at the time a breach occurs, will not be subject to fines of up to $500,000 (US) per incident, loss of the right to accept credit cards, and responsibility for all financial losses resulting from a breach.
All credit card companies are enforcing the Data Security Standard (DSS) within the Payment Card Industry. XRamp has been designated by Visa and MasterCard as a vendor authorized to certify that a credit card merchant is in compliance with these strict industry standards.
XRamp's SecureTrust services include an exhaustive array of tests that scan for nearly 10,000 vulnerabilities. Tests include a complete port scan, tests for backdoors and trojans, detection of CGI abuses, tests for buffer overflow vulnerabilities, scans for router and firewall weaknesses, tests for denial of service attacks, scans for HTTP and FTP vulnerabilities, and a Windows and Linux user-management review amongst many others.
The SecureTrust® program walks merchants through the steps to achieve compliance. The PCI Compliance process begins with the customer filling out a Self Assessment Questionnaire. Once completed, compliance issues are identified, and through XRamp's specialized security consulting and support, the customer can begin putting solutions in place. The SecureTrust® program encompasses more than just an opinion of compliance; it includes security awareness, education, and resolution.
SecureTrust® solutions provide merchants with the tools needed to protect themselves from fraud. In addition, the Payment Card Industry DSS certification protects merchants from the enormous fines and penalties which can be imposed upon non-compliant vendors.
Compliance with credit card security standards is not an inconvenience; it is a requirement. SecureTrust® assists in protecting brick and mortar, mail order, and eCommerce organizations from the financial devastation of fraud, and from the equally onerous penalties of which they are subject to if they don't comply with the new data security standards.
SecureTrust® PCI Compliance solutions pricing begins at $695(US) per year for an initial audit and certification, quarterly scan audits, monthly interval audits, and expert security consultation.
