Solidcore Releases PCI Compliance Product Download and Free Trial

This week Solidcore announced that its S3 Control PCI Starter Edition is available for download as a free 30-day trial.  The PCI Starter Edition helps smaller merchants easily and cost-effectively meet the file integrity monitoring requirements outlined in sections 10 and 11 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).  The free 30-day trial and low subscription cost of the product helps smaller merchants ease their PCI compliance burden and lower the costs of complying with the PCI standard.

According to Steve Levinson, PCI assessments and remediation practice lead for VeriSign, Inc., a leading PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and trusted advisor for PCI DSS compliance, "File integrity monitoring has become a strategic component of PCI compliance and one of the top requirements among the merchants we're assessing on a daily basis. The PCI DSS Requirement 11 for regular testing of security systems and processes is one of the leading causes of PCI assessment failures, and this includes file integrity monitoring.  Solidcore's file integrity monitoring technology can help merchants and service providers who must address the file integrity monitoring requirements to become PCI compliant in this area."

Scott Crawford, leading security analyst with Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) adds, "Solidcore's new downloadable offering provides a means for smaller PCI-challenged organizations to rapidly attain difficult-to-achieve requirements for critical file integrity monitoring.  Such an approach offers high value, particularly for the smaller or more resource-constrained business that must make difficult choices with tighter budgets. These are the very businesses that most need simply deployed, affordable, yet effective solutions to address their information risk management challenges."
