SecureConnect upgrades PCI compliance solution
September 23, 2009
BHI Advanced Internet, provider of SecureConnect, has enhanced its easyPCI packages to include more comprehensive features for its Internet security and PCI compliance solution. The updated packages for the quick-service restaurant industry include File Integrity Monitoring and an Information Security Policy (ISP) template, both of which help fulfill requirements within the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
File Integrity Monitoring helps to identify unauthorized changes to critical files and notify operators when such changes occur. This is important as it can indicate that a system has been breached or is at risk of being compromised.
"Bringing File Integrity Monitoring to market for SecureConnect customers is very significant because it is extremely cost effective and easy to use," said Andrew Brooker, CISSP and information security manager at BHI. "Because SecureConnect offers File Integrity Monitoring as a service, it eliminates the need for owner/operators to invest in complex infrastructure."
Another enhancement to the SecureConnect suite of services is the ISP template. An ISP is the necessary driver for successful compliance and security initiatives. The ISP serves as the governing mandate on how information must be stored, processed, transmitted and how changes to configuration and infrastructure are approved, changed and tested. As part of the 12th requirement within the PCI DSS, the ISP is vital to maintaining effective security procedures. The SecureConnect ISP template addresses the vast majority of security concerns for any organization.
As an innovative leader and single-source provider of PCI compliance services, BHI makes it easier for owner/operators to implement, maintain and monitor their network. The latest enhancements to the easyPCI packages further address the needs of the QSR industry and increase security for SecureConnect customers.
