BOSTON, MA and CHARLESTON, SC (PRWEB) April 09, 2018 -- TBG Security Inc., a leading risk management solutions provider, announced today that it has received certification as a Payment Card Industry (PCI) Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) by the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC) for the company’s scanning solutions. Designation as an ASV means TBG Security has successfully completed the PCI Security Standards Council Approved Scanning Vendors testing process and is qualified to assess an organization's external network environment for compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS).

TBG Security has been delivering PCI compliance solutions since 2003, leveraging various in-house security technologies in addition to a third-party vulnerability scanning technology to meet the requirements of our diverse customers. This newly certified solution is delivered using Rapid7’s proprietary Nexpose vulnerability scanning platform, which integrates seamlessly with a broad range of TBG’s Managed Security Services.

The PCI Data Security Standards (DSS), endorsed by major credit card companies worldwide such as, American Express, Discover Financial, JCB, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa International, requires merchants and service providers that store, process or transmit cardholder data, to adopt information security controls and processes to ensure cardholder data protection. A key component of the PCI DSS is the requirement for organizations to have quarterly external vulnerability scans performed by an ASV qualified by the PCI SSC. As one of these qualified ASVs, TBG Security performs both internal and external vulnerability scans on a regular basis for numerous merchants and service providers.

TBG’s PCI solutions help organizations identify exposures and security vulnerabilities in their Internet facing systems through remote vulnerability testing. TBG scans for the most up to date network and application level vulnerabilities, including OWASP vulnerabilities in order to meet your organizations compliance requirements. As a client focused service, the client has full control of the scope and schedule of their scans. TBG offers both scheduled and On-Demand scanning services to meet your organizations needs. Upon completion of the scanning process, TBG Security provides each client with an Attestation Report to submit to their bank or acquirer to validate compliance with the PCI Requirement.
