CoreSite Completes PCI DSS Validation for 13 Operational Data Centers
September 09 2014 - 4:00AM
Business Wire
CoreSite Realty Corporation (NYSE: COR), a provider of secure,
reliable, high-performance data center solutions, today
announced the company has validated compliance with the Payment
Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) version 3.0 as a
“Level 1” service provider for its colocation services. The
completion of PCI DSS validation follows CoreSite’s announcement
last month of SSAE 16 examination completion, and the company’s
ongoing commitment to providing data center infrastructure and
processes that enable customers to achieve HIPPA and FISMA physical
compliance.
The PCI Data Security Standard requires that any merchant that
outsources the transmission, processing, or storage of payment card
data to a third party provider verify that the provider adheres to
the standard. As a provider of colocation services to merchants,
CoreSite has proactively met this requirement for its business in
support of the PCI compliance needs of its customers.
“CoreSite’s completion of the PCI DSS assessment illustrates our
commitment to ensuring that we provide a secure and reliable
colocation environment for our customers’ critical business
applications,” said Brian Warren, Senior Vice President of
Marketing and Product at CoreSite. “CoreSite data centers support
customers from a variety of industries in meeting a wide range of
regulatory requirements. CoreSite’s compliance program supports our
customers in meeting these requirements efficiently.”
The PCI DSS is a comprehensive set of standards that require
merchants and service providers that store, process, or transmit
customer payment card data to adhere to strict information security
controls and processes. It was created by the founding brands of
the PCI Security Standards Council, which includes American
Express, Discover Financial, JCB International, MasterCard
Worldwide, and Visa Inc. The standard includes twelve requirements
that include the following information security topics:
- Security management
- Policies and procedures
- Physical security
- Network architecture
- User access management
- Network and systems monitoring
- Software development
The scope of CoreSite’s PCI DSS assessment included physical
security and related policies. The assessment was performed by
BrightLine CPAs & Associates, Inc. (www.brightline.com), a
globally accredited Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) firm that
provides assurance and compliance services to global companies. The
scope of the assessment included the applicable requirements of
version 3.0 of the PCI Data Security Standard for validation of
“Level 1” service providers. A Report on Compliance was issued to
reflect CoreSite’s full compliance with the PCI Data Security
Standard. This report is available to customers upon request.
