PCI Security Compliance Certified - See Certificate Below:

Data security is our highest priority, and in addition to PCI Complience certification, we've received regular SSAE 16 / SAS 70 audits from independent auditing firms. These audits are further proof of the excellent data hosting and processing controls that we use to protect customer information and recovered data.

What Is PCI Compliance?

Ensuring Data Security Through Independent PCI Complient Audits

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is a set of requirements for all businesses that handle, store and process credit card information. It provides guidelines that service businesses must follow to protect their customers' credit cards and to prevent fraudulent charges. It also provides guidelines for IT companies that handle stored credit card information on hard drives and other electronic media.

Why PCI Compliance Is Important for Data Recovery Providers?

Any company that handles credit card information should comply with PCI security standards to minimize the risk of credit card fraud. PCI compliance is important in every industry, but it's particularly important for IT companies, as they often deal with large amounts of data--including encrypted and unencrypted credit card info that might be stored on hard drives or servers.

Data recovery companies deal with terabytes of data every day as they work to recover hard drives, servers and deleted files. PCI compliance is essential in preventing unauthorized access to this data.

According to PCI guidelines, any computer system that holds credit card information must comply with the requirements of the PCI Security Standards Council.

Whether your recovered data contains credit card information or not, a PCI-compliant data recovery company offers the following advantages:

Relevant, up-to-date security controls that prevent your data and your credit card information from unauthorized access.
Established guidelines that prevent fraudulent charges and set up an efficient, standardized way of handling credit card fraud if it occurs.
Security standards that protect your data during and after the data recovery process.
Standards that ensure appropriate security during electronic transfers.

If you're specifically trying to recover data that contains your customers' credit card information, PCI compliance also ensures that the information protected while it's stored by the data recovery company. Your company can be held liable for lost credit card info under certain circumstances, so choosing a PCI-compliant data recovery vendor protects your company and prevents mishandling or misuse of your data.

It's also important to realize that PCI compliance is compulsory, so data recovery companies that do not provide proof of compliance may be violating consumer protection and privacy laws.

How Data Recovery Companies Can Achieve PCI Compliance?

To comply with PCI security standards, service companies basically need to provide information about the controls that protect customer credit card information and keep careful documentation that shows that their controls are in place. Audits and attestations are used to ensure compliance.

Data recovery companies have to deal with additional challenges, and due to the amount of data that is processed, transferred and recovered every data at a major data recovery lab, PCI compliance can be difficult to attain.

Data recovery providers must document the entire recovery process, as recovered data can often contain credit card numbers and other sensitive information and access needs to be carefully controlled.

Keeping documentation ensures that:

The employees of a data recovery company will not be able to access, transmit or use credit card information accidentally or maliciously. This is handled through controls such as physical locks, security systems and authorization procedures.
Recovered data that contains credit card information will be handled appropriately and securely with limited access. Data will be destroyed in an approved manner and will only be stored on a high-security network. The security requirements for data networks are clearly established in PCI guidelines, and while no security guidelines guarantee 100% protection, regular updates ensure an up-to-date approach.
All electronically-transmitted credit card information is properly protected with high-level encryption, firewalls and other electronic security controls and those controls are documented. This also applies to recovered data that is transferred from the data recovery company to the client.

In addition to documentation requirements, PCI guidelines require businesses to:

Regularly monitor the networks that they use to store or use credit card information and test these networks at regular intervals. Tests are often carried out during audits and attestations.
Detail "strong access control measures," which are the steps that a data recovery company takes to limit access to data. These might include physical and electronic security measures.
Maintain an extremely secure network with appropriate firewalls and other security features.
Find and manage potential security vulnerabilities. This means keeping computer security systems up to date, looking for loopholes and utilizing new methods of encryption along with other tools to protect data.

Data recovery companies should undergo security audits to ensure PCI compliance. These audits need to be performed by a qualified security assessor or QSA.

Additional audits may be necessary when recovering data for PCI-compliant companies such as ecommerce merchants, including SAS 70 or SAE 16 certifications. Secure Data Recovery Services has obtained these certifications and undergoes regular audits to protect our clients and to make it easy for our client to find the reports and certifications that they need to trust our engineers with their data.

PCI Data Recovery Clean Room

Protecting Sensitive Information During The Data Recovery Process

Secure Data Recovery Services takes data security very seriously. All recovered data and customer credit card information is handled in a manner consistent with PCI security standards. We're also one of the only data recovery companies in the world to offer high-security level services for ecommerce merchants, government clients, medical professionals and other customers who need to meet the requirements of security and privacy laws such as HIPAA, FERPA, SOX and NIST.

Protecting our clients requires numerous stringent security controls and careful documentation throughout the recovery process. We control access to your data and take essential steps to prevent any type of unauthorized access.

Your recovered data can only be read by the professional data recovery engineers assigned to work on your case. Data is never made externally accessible during the recovery process, so your data can never be read, copied or transmitted out of our laboratories without your approval and prior consent.

We can return data electronically to our clients via a secure file transfer protocol system or on a physical disk. A backup copy of recovered data is kept on our secure servers for several days after each recovery case is complete. After you've received and checked your data, our backup copies are securely destroyed in a manner consistent with high-level security standards such as DoD7.

PCI Data Recovery Company

Trust Your Data with A PCI Compliant Data Recovery Company

PCI compliance and other security certifications show a dedication to good data management and security controls. You should always insist on a data recovery company with proper IT security practices, as companies without certifications might not follow basic security practices and could put your data at risk. Data recovery providers that don't have relevant certifications are also unqualified to handle enterprise-level cases, including server recoveries, government recoveries and other sensitive data recovery cases.

Regardless of your security needs or turnaround time requirements, Secure Data Recovery Services makes it easier to find the reports you need to get your data recovery case started. View all of our reports online for more information or contact us today to start a case.
