PCI Compliance
If your organisation stores, processes or transmits credit or debit card payments then you will need to comply with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS). These new regulations issued by the major credit card companies such as Visa and MasterCard will need to be adhered to if you want to continue taking credit and debit card payments.
PCI Scanning: DSS Compliant Security Scan
Boxing Orange is a PCI Approved Scanning Vendor and can perform the required scans for PCI DSS compliance for all organisations.
As required under Requirement 11 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), all companies processing card payments must comply with the following: "Quarterly external vulnerability scans must be performed by a scan vendor qualified by the payment card industry."
Boxing Orange performs these quarterly scans in line with the standards set by the PCI Standards Council. The scans are run over the Internet and help identify vulnerabilities and mis-configurations of web sites, applications, and information technology infrastructures with Internet-facing IP addresses.
