Is your ecommerce provider certified PCI compliant?  Speartek is!

Don't let bargain ecommerce providers leave your customer's irreplacable financial data at risk.  Online shoppers are increasingly aware of the threats posed by credit card fraud and identity theft, and your online store can leave them vulnerable if recognized security standards are not in place and verified by an accredited third party.

Compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) data security standard is required of all merchants that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. A "merchant" is defined as any entity accepting payment via any form of payment card. The program applies to all payment channels, including retail (brick-and-mortar), mail/telephone order, and ecommerce. The PCI standard is endorsed by all credit card brands within their respective programs, including Visa (CISP and AIS programs), MasterCard (SDP), American Express, DiscoverCard and JBC.

The PCI Data Security Standard consists of twelve basic requirements and corresponding sub-requirements.  Certification requires passing an intial vulnerability assessment, annual reassessment and ongoing compliance management to ensure that the certified entity meets or exceeds the standards set by the PCI Council.  Our systems are scheduled for scans every quarter, and are manually scanned at varying intervals between the scheduled scans.
