The service will help SoftLayer customers to meet the requirements set by the
PCI Security Standards Council’s Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
(PCI DSS) version 1.1. Credit card companies and banks worldwide require
e-commerce merchants to comply with the multi-faceted security standard, which
includes the requirements of Visa’s Cardholder Information Security Program
(CISP) and MasterCard’s Site Data Protection (SDP) program.
McAfee’s
service includes a wide range of value-adding features that far exceed the basic
vulnerability scanning that PCI DSS requires, including:
• Scheduled
quarterly and unlimited manual scans
• Certified Information Systems Security
Professional (CISSP) vulnerability remediation support
• Online
self-assessment questionnaire assistance
• Online assistance for preparing a
required PCI security policy
• Unlimited telephone technical support
•
Direct submission of compliance reports to banks
• Full-service program
starting at 6 IP addresses.
Upon completion of the audit, the service
issues a Report of Compliance that is accepted by all credit card companies and
banks worldwide.
Nathan Day, Chief Technology Officer of Softlayer,
stated, “Security on the Internet has always been one of the greatest challenges
to conducting commerce. This solution will allow all SoftLayer customers to
increase the safety and trust in their on-line stores and
businesses.”
