McAfee Secure PCI Compliance
The payment card industry (PCI) mandates PCI compliance for everyone that captures, processes or stores credit card numbers. And so as a WHMCS user, PCI applies to you if you use a merchant account such as Authorize.net, BluePay, SagePay, etc… (More information on PCI is available at www.pcisecuritystandards.org).
Don’t worry, though. Through our relationship with McAfee, Inc., you get access to a complete PCI compliance service already used by thousands of retailers like you and at a fraction of the normal cost (65% discount for WHMCS users).
Why McAfee?
McAfee® PCI Compliance Service is a simplified, easy-to-use system for Level 2-4 merchants that need to successfully and confidently complete the steps necessary for PCI certification.
Originally developed for Visa International, the service includes automated state-of-the-art scanning, an online self-assessment questionnaire, McAfee Technical Assist (extensive technical support, such as vulnerability remediation assistance), and the PCI Wizard to help manage compliance activities.
Tens of thousands of organizations around the world – from government agencies and online retailers, to nonprofits and manufacturers – trust McAfee to audit their initial and ongoing PCI compliance status. And we do too.
