PCI DSS Compliant hosting

PCI DSS Compliant hosting (PCI DSS certified hosting) is a scheme of cloud service provision based on PCI DSS certification. Such services imply the use of bank cards by enterprises that have placed information systems with the cloud provider..

Using provider services, a business automatically partially fulfills the basic requirements of PCI DSS certification. This is due to the fact that the provider already complies with part of the standard’s requirements. In addition to limiting direct access to the infrastructure, the provider provides firewalling, antivirus protection against malware, encryption of cardholder data, etc..
