The PCI Toolbox
The Rackspace PCI Toolbox helps you achieve PCI compliance with the technical components of your hosted infrastructure. Our solutions and network security experts can help you address some of the PCI DSS requirements for your hosted infrastructure saving you from having to spend a lot of time, effort and money and dealing with the complexity of doing it all yourself.
While the cost of implementing a PCI compliant solution in-house is daunting, it pales in comparison to the costs of non-compliance—penalties vary anywhere from $100,000 to $1,000,000. The costs associated with a security breach can be even more staggering. You can benefit by leveraging Rackspace security staff to help you with compliance, especially when you get 24x7x365 availability.
If there's an issue, you have a question or just need advice, we have solutions to help you with some of the PCI compliance requirements. It's one more way Fanatical Support® is unlike any other kind of support.
