PCI Compliance

We've assembled the following frequently asked questions regarding PCI compliance that we see.

Q: Are you PCI compliant?
A: Yes, your data is stored in a fully compliant SOC1 (SSAE 16) Type II and PCI DSS compliant datacenter.

Q: What hosting plan do I need to be PCI compliant?
A: You cannot be PCI compliant on a shared hosting plan. You will need a VPS or Dedicated server so that advanced configurations can be changed to bring you into compliance. Don't worry, our team will handle all of that with our managed plans. More information is available about our VPS plans and Dedicated server options on our website.

Q: What is PCI compliance?
A: The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to ensure that ALL companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. Essentially any merchant that has a Merchant ID (MID).

Q: Do I need to be PCI compliant?
A: PCI applies to ANY organization or merchant, regardless of size or number of transactions, that accepts, transmits or stores any cardholder data. Said another way, if any customer of that organization ever pays the merchant directly using a credit card or debit card, then the PCI DSS requirements apply.
