How can Backbone Security help my business?
..
Backbone Security, using its One Stop PCI Scan, has been certified by the PCI Security Standards Council as an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) to conduct the required quarterly vulnerability scans and help you become PCI DSS compliant. Our scanning will not impact customer applications, databases, or networks.

Does your business accept credit or debit cards as a form of payment?
.........
If you process, transmit, or store credit or debit card information you are required to comply with the Payment Card Industry's Data Security Standard. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v1.1, dated September 2006, details information security requirements for merchants, service providers, and acquirers to help protect against fraud and identity theft.

What are the PCI DSS requirements and how do they affect my business?
.....
For most merchants (businesses who have fewer then 6 million credit/debit transactions per year) the requirements are fairly basic and inexpensive. These merchants, categorized from Level 2 through Level 4 based on the number of transactions, are required to have quarterly vulnerability scans from an approved scanning vendor and to complete an annual self-assessment questionnaire.

How do the quarterly vulnerability scans protect against fraud and
identity theft?
.....
Backbone's One Stop PCI Scan performs vulnerability testing and probes for the latest security threats. Our testing simulates how a malicious hacker would attempt to steal your information. Backbone assesses the security of all externally facing IP addresses to protect your sensitive information.
