Comm100 Live Chat Achieves Security Milestone with PCI Compliance

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Comm100 Network Cooperation, award-winning live chat provider, has recently passed the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard audit. After meeting rigorous security standards, the company is now eligible for PCI DSS Compliance as a service provider.

PCI DSS compliance is the industry's leading information security standard for organizations that collect consumer credit card information. A PCI DSS compliant merchant must meet requirements that ensure, among other things, secure information encryption, compliant data centers and network architecture, and information security best practices.

PCI compliant businesses are subject to an annual compliance audit where they must list each provider that accepts sensitive information on behalf of them. If any of these providers are not PCI compliant, they must each be individually reviewed. This increases the cost and the scope of the businesses' compliance program. Comm100's recent PCI compliance achievement eliminates unnecessary resource expenditures. Clients can now receive sensitive information like social security numbers and credit card information from their customers over live chat through a PCI DSS compliant secure form. Additionally, this PCI DSS compliance guarantees Comm100 clients the highest standard of security available within the live chat industry.

Comm100 has maintained a long-standing history of high security standards. As the CEO, Kevin Gao, states, "The PCI compliance process not only makes our platform more technically secure but also highlights opportunities to strengthen our procedures and policies. This allows us to deliver a secure, consistent and reliable solution to our customers."

The company holds a TRUSTe privacy certification, and practices rigorous backup strategy and data protection policies. The company prides itself on operating at the highest measurable level of information security. Click here for more details about Comm100's PCI compliance and security strategy.
