PC Onsite is compliant with the latest PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) rules and regulations.

The PCI DSS was developed by the major credit card companies as a guideline to help organizations who process credit card payments. It prevents credit card fraud, hacking, and various other security issues. A company processing, storing, or transmitting credit card numbers must be PCI DSS compliant or they risk losing the ability to process credit card payments. Merchants and Service Providers must validate compliancy by being audited by a PCI DSS Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) Company.

PC Onsite runs a review of our compliancy once a quarter to ensure that we stay compliant. Doing so we help to protect you from credit card fraud, identity theft, and much more.

All of our sites that contain or transmit credit/personal information are secured using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). SSL is a form of encryption that helps to prevent any data transmitted over the internet from being hacked or stolen. You can tell when a site is secured using SSL as it will begin with HTTPS:// as opposed to HTTP://. SSL uses a type of electronic certificate between communications. These certificates are purchased from a Certificate Authority such as Verisign, Godaddy, and Network Solutions.

PC Onsite also secures not only the data transmitted trough our servers but also any access to our servers through remote or onsite. All connections are controlled by an access list of IP addresses that will only allow access from a specified location. The servers are physically hosted in a Server Hosting Facility. Access to the physical location is enforced by an access list of personnel that can gain access to the servers physically.
