PCI Compliance and "Hacker Safe" Certification Earned by AmeriCall

(June 25, 2009) - Inbound/ outbound call center and answering service AmeriCall has earned industry-standard PCI compliance and "Hacker Safe" certification, the company recently announced. The two designations were attained to further AmeriCall's dedication to offering secure call center solutions and protecting sensitive user information.

AmeriCall General Manager Scott Hager said, "We provide customer support, ordering assistance, shipment tracking, and fulfillment-integration services nationally to a vast range of web-based businesses. As we are a leading provider of website customer service, it has become increasingly important for us to protect the safety of our clients' and their customers' information."

Regulated by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council, the PCI Data Security Standard is a set of comprehensive requirements for payment account data security, including security management, network architecture, procedures and policies, and other protective measures. Many card issuers, banks, and credit card processing companies require compliance as a condition for accepting credit cards. AmeriCall's PCI compliance was validated by a Comodo, a PCI-approved third-party vendor, and found to meet all guidelines of the PCI data security initiative.

In addition to PCI compliance, AmeriCall sought out the Hacker Safe certification to provide another level of security for its clients. Sites that earn Hacker Safe certification are subject to rigorous daily audits to prevent unwanted online intrusion. The daily audits consist of vulnerability testing, vulnerability alerts, and remediation management.

By attaining these designations, AmeriCall has joined an elite group of live answering service providers dedicated to the implementation of industry-leading data security technology. Hager added, "Now that we have become independently certified Hacker Safe and PCI compliant, our clients can feel confident that their data is secure."
