Don't let Your need to meet PCI compliance bust your budget.

In today's budget-conscious world, many organizations find themselves struggling with the challenge of meeting PCI compliance requirements while controlling IT and network security-related costs.

MicroAge can offer your company several solutions that will both maintain your PCI compliance while securely protecting your credit card information for a reasonable cost.

Recently, we were contacted by a small- to medium-sized non-profit organization that was having difficulty adding an Intrusion Detection Prevention (IDP) solution to its network to protect cardholder information.

The organization's existing firewall would not allow for the addition of any IDP software, so I suggested that the company move its firewall from its external-facing position to an internal PCI-segmented position and then add a Juniper SRX210 Services Gateway for IDP on its external-facing network. We provided this solution for less than $2,000.

Since all organizations that accept, transmit or store any cardholder data MUST be PCI compliant, regardless of size or number of transactions, Sword & Shield offers a variety of products and services to help you securely maintain compliance without breaking your budget.

For small- to medium-sized businesses, MicroAge will provide general PCI consulting to help you complete your Self-Assessment Questionnaire and submit your Attestation of Compliance (AOC) to your acquiring bank.

Larger organizations may need a comprehensive security assessment of their data security standards to complete a documented Report on Compliance, while companies with a large number of widely-dispersed points of sale locations may need assistance in completing SAQs for each location.
