The PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), established by the Payment Card Industry (Visa, Mastercard, and other payment cards), combats online fraud and identity theft. It stipulates many security practices that any vendor who stores or transmits credit card data must follow. Any company found noncompliant faces steep penalties.
To facilitate compliance, Visa established a list of certified vendors, found here: http://usa.visa.com/download/merchants/cisp-list-of-pcidss-compliant-service-providers.pdf. Working with a certified vendor guarantees a level of compliance with the PCI DSS spec. A certified vendor must supply you with a responsibilities sheet detailing exactly what they are covering.
To companies that handle credit card data (financial services, eCommerce, etc.), choosing a certified hosting provider has obvious benefits; however, all businesses can benefit from the third-party certification. Here’s how:
Access Control
The PCI-DSS places restrictions on who has physical access to servers in a datacenter, as well as terminal access to the operating system. As such, a certified PCI compliant hosting provider has safeguards that may or may not be present with other hosts:
- Photo security badge, fob, PIN, and biometric access to the datacenter.
- Access privilege granted to fewest necessary personnel.
- Login and change monitoring/logging for each server or device.
- Secure client authentication required for any changes to the environment.

The Microsoft WebsiteSpark hosting program knocks down the barriers to entry for new design and development companies, giving them the technology they need to compete for SMB opportunities in the Windows Hosting platform arena without paying a dime in upfront costs.
It’s a great time to be a young and growing design and/or software development firm. Our highly connected world means an endless stream of opportunities for companies trying to meet the demands of SMBs and hungry eyeballs churning through websites, print media, and mobile delivered content at exponential rates. Ironically, at the same time it’s never been as tough for young designers and developers, who must fund a variety of disciplines in order to be competitive. It’s not enough to know your way around Photoshop; the successful design companies are the ones that stay abreast of the current and breaking technologies needed to deliver the highly interactive Web 2.0 experience users expect. That means costly training and license fees. Fortunately it just got a lot easier, thanks to Microsoft’s new WebsiteSpark prog ram.
The Microsoft WebsiteSpark hosting program knocks down the barriers to entry for new design and development companies, giving them the technology they need to compete for SMB opportunities in the Windows Hosting platform arena without paying a dime in upfront costs. Offering free licenses for Visual Studio 2008, Expression Studio and Expression Web, and user and processor licenses for Windows Server and SQL Server, the WebsiteSpark program clears a path for young design companies by giving them free access to industry leading software and letting them avoid costs that could otherwise bleed away at revenues during the critical first few years of operation.
