PCI DSS Hosting

As a company that processes credit card transactions, or stores credit card information, you are a target. In October 2012, the motivation behind 58% of all hacking attempts was Cyber Crime.

This means obtaining PCI DSS compliance for your business is more than a regulatory necessity. It is the way to ensure your business, and your customers, are protected. The maximum fine for PCI DSS compliance violations is £50,000. However, the loss of trust in your business due to a security breach could be devastating. Contrary to popular belief, obtaining PCI DSS compliance doesn’t have to be hard. All you need is a trusted partner with the experience and commitment to help you.

Let us guide you through the process of compliance and assist you with audits, so you can invest your energy and time into your business.

Finding the best solution for your business

The goal of many companies offering hosting for PCI compliance is just that – to get you a compliance certificate. They will help you do what’s necessary to check off the boxes and pass your audit. The solutions they offer will meet the minimum requirements for your PCI level.

At Netplan we work with you to determine the right security solutions to meet your needs and regulatory requirements. Often this means that the services we provide exceed the standards set by PCI DSS.



Beyond the technical and regulatory requirements, we strive to offer the best customer service in the industry.

Every PCI DSS customer receives:

• A Dedicated security manager – To save you time, a dedicated security manager is assigned to your account. You will not have to explain your business to a new account representative each time you contact us.

• Priority telephone support – If you ever have an issue you can call us 24 hours a day, 365 days a week. If your dedicated manager isn’t available immediately, you will receive a response within 30 minutes from another qualified member of our security team.

Guaranteed compliance, or your money back

It may be a bold statement, but we can confidently guarantee PCI compliance at the appropriate level for your business. Which standards apply to you varies based on the number of transactions you process annually as well as other details relating to data storage and infrastructure. We can ensure that you have the proper solution and that you’ll achieve compliance or we will give your money back.

Every minute your business is not compliant is a minute that you are vulnerable to fraud and cyber-attacks. Contact us today for a free consultation with one of our PCI compliance experts. We’ll work with you to make obtaining PCI compliance as quick and stress free as possible.
