If your company has never fulfilled the scanning requirement for PCI compliance with your merchant bank provider, we would like to extend to you a 90 day free of charge PCI scanning service through Comodo, LTD a authorized PCI ASV. To be compliant with requirement 11.2 of the PCI Data Security Standard, merchants and service providers must conduct and pass a QUARTERLY vulnerability test (meaning one scan every 90 days or 4 scans per year). This free service, valid for a 90 day period, will provide the PCI scan compliance certification necessary to demonstrate first quarter compliance only. Merchants and service providers wishing to gain certification for a full 12 month period should consider HackerGuardian PCI Scan Compliancy or PCI Scan Compliancy Enterprise.

Our years of experience delivering Open Source eCommerce services using CRE Loaded led us to believe that eCommerce clients needed a few important features that just were not delivered by the average hosting environments. Features that we were told were "too difficult for the customer" or "only needed for military grade security". After years of promoting these security measures we started our own company and made it happen! All StrikeHawk eCommerce hosting solutions include:

Secure Email Services

All email server access is by secure methods. Only. Additionally, the Sender Policy Framework is a standard configuration feature on every server. Why should your company have to compete with thousands of spam artists for the use of your own email server? Why should your email inbox be filled every day with bounce messages generated by bogus emails sent using your domain as a mask for illegal activities? We think they shouldn't. So our hosting plans offer effective measures to prevent it. Every day. Every plan.

Secure File Transfers

FTP has been the backbone of file transfer since before the Internet was the Internet. It is a venerable workhorse of the electronic communication age. It is also insecure. Any web kiddie with a packet scanner can read your user id and password. Once they have, they own your control panel and your hosting. eCommerce site operators who enjoy being used like ladies of ill repute on Fleet Arrival day should by all means use simple, reliable FTP for all of their batch file transfer needs.

Those who are serious about their security should seek hosting plans that offer other options. Which is why we do. Secure file transfer methods are the ONLY methods we allow. Ever. Which means not only are your file transfers secure and your id and passwords obscured from discovery by website crackers, so are your neighbors. So you can sleep just a bit sounder at night when you use our eCommerce focused hosting plans.

Superior Encryption Security

Almost 90% of Internet users today are aware of the need for secure communications where their payment information is concerned. Few things are more likely to cause shopping cart abandonment than failure to clearly demonstrate a trustworthy link between the users browser and your ecommerce website.

We address that by assuring the availability of the highest possible grade of SSL encryption on the market today. Not only that - we offer SSL Certificates to enable that encryption. Certificates backed by some of the strongest names in the business. Comodo, GeoTrust and Secure Business Service certificates including the new Extended Validation (EV) SSL standards. Available to every client at highly competitive prices.

24 Hour Service Monitoring

No eCommerce hosting solution is complete without 24 hour service monitoring. Our eCommerce Focused hosting plans are complete. Multiple monitoring services alert us immediately of any service outage. 99.9% service availability is our goal - and we meet it. We will also give you, free of charge, a commercial monitoring services provided by Comoodo, LTD. with each hosting package you order.
