Who needs PCI compliant hosting?

To protect consumers, the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council has developed payment card safeguards. This includes the data security standard known as PCI DSS that requires any organization that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data to comply with certain IT technical requirements. The lack of compliance could lead to penalties, fines, and legal action as well as malicious activity, data breaches, and theft.

Smaller businesses may be able to handle the majority of the requirements via a Self-Assessment Questionnaire and a variety of tools. Medium to large businesses typically face more complex PCI compliance challenges, and it's very common to enlist a third party service provider to help satisfy the PCI DSS requirements.

Layered Tech specializes in secure managed hosting solutions for:

• Level 1-3 merchants who handle high volumes of credit card transactions (20,000+ transactions/year).
• PCI service providers who manage sensitive data for others. Examples include:
  • Independent sales organizations (ISOs)
  • Banks
  • Card brands
  • Credit/risk management vendors
  • Fraud detection services
  • Payment processors or gateways
  • Stored value cards (benefits card, gift card, etc.)
  • Software/application/SaaS developers
  • Data warehousing/reporting platforms
  • Online payment services
