SiteLink achieves another year of PCI DSS Level 1 Security Certification
SiteLink, the global industry leader in self-storage management software, completed its re-certification as a Payment Card Industry-Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Level 1 Service Provider following a detailed audit to ensure credit card data is stored, processed and transmitted in a secure and protected manner. This is the highest level of software and server security certification.
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) is an information security standard defined by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. These standards cover all aspects of cardholder data in a system and include card data entry, processing, and secure payment applications.
On an annual basis, SiteLink works with PCI Compliance auditor Charles Denyer. The comprehensive audit includes document collection and analysis, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing, as well as regularly recurring scans throughout the year.
Highest Level of Certification
Large companies such as Amazon.com pass the PCI DSS Level 1 Certification which stands out as the highest level of certification in the payment card industry. Leading brands such as American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa have incorporated PCI-DSS as the technical requirements for their data security compliance programs.
“We want our customers to know we are dedicated to complying with and exceeding the requirements established in the PCI standards. SiteLink is focused on continuously improving our systems and operating practices to address evolving threats and changes to the PCI standards.” said Luke Lenzen, SiteLink’s Chief Technology Officer.
Industry Leadership Transparency
SiteLink’s PCI DSS Level 1 Certification is a critical component of its comprehensive and transparent leadership effort to protect businesses. “We have always held security certifications as a priority to demonstrate how we keep customers’ best interests above all else,” said Luke Lenzen, SiteLink’s Chief Technology Officer. “Undergoing this type of certification is not a small feat. Data encryption and quarterly penetration testing are focal points of our security strategy.”
PCI Certified Software
Self-storage owners should ask their management software provider for their security level certificate and their process of safeguarding data. Owners should consider PCI certified software, not just PCI compliant software.
Software companies can claim PCI compliance without undergoing third party audits under the PCI Council jurisdiction. To protect their interest, owners should check their software provider’s actual PCI Certificate validating audit completion and proper network security standards.
The PCI DSS Level 1 Certification brings peace of mind to owners with the understanding that external auditors have certified SiteLink’s software products after the most stringent security audit.
