The fact is that all businesses that store, process, or transmit payment cardholder data must be PCI-compliant. There are certainly many avenues available today through which to achieve compliance, but it is well to note that the security requirements are rigorous, the compliance mandate specific and absolute, and the road to compliance an often-changing endeavor.

What’s more, your IT administration team is surely more concerned about maintaining your enterprise day-to-day than it is in implementing strategic processing benchmarks, particularly when they are subject to change at a moment’s notice.

If you process transactions from American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, and Visa International, you need a secure environment that puts as few demands on your existing resources as possible, securely implement all PCI DSS controls, and have the confidence your transaction environment will retain its compliance in the event of modifications to the standard.

Clone Systems offers you all of this and more, for a flat, single-monthly fee. It requires no changes to your infrastructure, no purchase of additional hardware or network security mechanisms, or any maintenance whatsoever by your otherwise-engaged IT team. We provide seamless compliance through managed private clouds.

Utilizing Private Clouds for Your PCI Processing Environment

Our solution employs the non-shared Cloud computing paradigm to house all components critical to codified PCI-compliance. These include, but are not restricted to, servers, workstations, payment gateways, security checkpoints, firewalls, system and payment logging services, and more, depending on the volume of your transactions and your existing infrastructure. The virtualization of your transaction framework is the most efficient and cost-effective means by which to achieve and maintain your critical adherence to PCI standards.
