In yesterday’s post, I briefly mentioned that A2 Hosting gives free PCI DSS compliant scans. I thought that I would elaborate on this very important ecommerce service today.

A2 Hosting has a special partnership with ScanAlert, a company that offers third party PCI compliance certification. ScanAlert normally costs $149 per year, but because of A2 Hosting’s partnership with them, the first year is FREE and each additional year is only $19. Good deal eh? This Scan Alert certification program includes:

* Scheduled quarterly and unlimited manual PCI compliance scans for up to 6 domains

* Full DSS vulnerability support solutions from certified security specialists

* Assisted online PCI DSS self-assessment questionnaire

* Online assistance for creation of a mandatory PCI DSS security policy

* Unlimited telephone technical support

* The ability to the compliance reports directly to your bank of choice

A2 Hosting customer’s also receive discounts of as much as 70% off their Hacker Safe service. With this service, your site will be certified daily communicating to your customers that the data they will transmit will be safe from hackers and they will be protected from identity theft.

I have a scenario for you. Think of the exact same ecommerce site that has only one difference, one is Hacker Safe certified and the other is not. Which one would you prefer to purchase from? Of course the one that is Hacker Safe certified because you know that your private information is secure.
