Approved Scanning Vendor

Quarterly vulnerability scanning helps secure your network and comply with PCI requirements by proactively identifying weaknesses in your network environment.  SecureConnect provides quarterly vulnerability scans to help organizations minimize vulnerabilities and alert you of security flaws in your network. 

BHI Advanced Internet, provider of SecureConnect, is a PCI Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). The ASV qualification is a rigorous process conducted by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). The PCI SSC evaluates companies based on several factors including depth and breadth of expertise, corporate reputation and integrity, internal processes and procedures, and the results of a real-world simulated scanning test.  Only these select companies that maintain the ASV certification are allowed to perform the vulnerability scanning necessary for merchants to validate PCI compliance.

PCI DSS requires all companies processing card payments to comply with a quarterly external vulnerability scan. These scans look for known vulnerabilities and configuration issues that potentially could be exploited by hackers, worms, or viruses.
