An independent auditor verified Codero, a dedicated and managed hosting services provider, as qualifying for the PaymentCardIndustryDataSecurityStandard (PCIDSS). This standard was setup in 2006 by the five biggest credit card issuers: AmericanExpress, DiscoverFinancialServices, VISA, Mastercard, and JCB International. There are 12 requirements for any database storage of the information for the company to meet. These critical reviews of the infrastructure and software involved require a high standard of security to ensure cardholder data is properly protected.

Shawn Hashmi, Director of Operations at Codero, said:

“There’s clearly too much at stake today in protecting cardholder privacy as eCommerce continues to surge. Our PCI-compliant environment in Phoenix is just the latest in a series of steps we’re taking to ensure businesses are able to accept online payments without putting their customers at risk.”
