The Worlds Leading PCI Security Certification Service

In response to the overwhelming occurrences of credit card data theft by hackers, Visa and MasterCard have developed the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. This standard is also being enforced by American Express, DiscoverCard and JCB. It must be implemented by all merchants and their web hosts, shopping cart vendors and payment service providers. Those who do not face fines of up to $500,000 and the possibility of being barred from accepting credit card payments.

As the largest web site security certification service, ScanAlert was selected by Visa International to be the exclusive provider of Visa-branded PCI / AIS validation services over 70 countries.

We currently operate co-branded PCI compliance programs, through partners such as Visa, PayPal, CyberSource and the U.S. Council of Better Business Bureaus, to manage the enrollment of more than 250,000 merchants and third-party service providers world-wide.

Making PCI Compliance Easier, Faster

Working directly with Visa and MasterCard ScanAlert has developed a unique, accurate and easy-to-use online "PCI Wizard" making PCI compliance more affordable and more reliable for merchants of all sizes. This service, available only through ScanAlert and our partners, automates completion of your self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ), automatically initiates quarterly scans for vulnerabilities and generates the necessary PCI compliance reporting. Unlimited telephone and online technical support is also provided.

ScanAlert's certification of PCI compliance meets the requirements of Visa's CISP and AIS, MasterCard's SDP, American Express' DSS, DiscoverCard and JCB.
