BHI makes it debut on the coveted Inc.5000 list as one of the fastest growing private companies in America.
MINNEAPOLIS (August 31, 2010) – BHI Advanced Internet, an industry leader in providing Internet security and Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance services, has been ranked No. 2431 by Inc. Magazine in its 4th annual Inc. 5000 list. The list showcases the top 5,000 entrepreneurial, fastest-growing private companies in America. The company’s ranking comes from a three-year, 100% sales growth rate which is driven primarily by the innovative flagship service, SecureConnect.
Offering comprehensive, managed security solutions, SecureConnect helps merchants save time, money and frustration by working with a single vendor to meet network security needs and compliance requirements. Acknowledged for its scalability, SecureConnect has proven to be an asset to companies both large and small. Bringing enterprise level security to small to medium size businesses, SecureConnect offers extensive features for a fixed monthly rate.
In addition to the fully managed firewall and core features, SecureConnect packages include valuable services such as a $100,000 Breach Protection Program, internal vulnerability scanning, endpoint protection, data loss prevention, and rogue access point detection. By outsourcing these needs, many merchants are able to maintain a secure and reliable IT infrastructure, benefit from 24x7x365 monitoring and support, and address compliance needs, all at an affordable price.
“We have seen a significant increase in demand for services like ours as a result of the acquiring banks, ISOs, and credit card processors requiring merchants to document and validate their compliance with the PCI DSS,” said Dave Perrill, president of BHI SecureConnect. “However, merchants of all sizes face similar challenges of implementing the necessary solutions to meet the PCI standards.”
As security breaches become a popular topic among news outlets, national brands are recognizing the increased need for proper credit card security and are relying on service providers like SecureConnect to help simplify the process. Realizing that a single security breach can have devastating effects on their business, franchise organizations are beginning to take steps to provide solutions to the franchisees in order to minimize the risk of a potential compromise. To address concerns surrounding brand protection, BHI SecureConnect has developed a National Account Program to provide multiple layers of education, risk management, and ongoing support to reach the franchise community. With a highly-skilled team of security experts, customers such as Dairy Queen, Culver’s, Taco John’s and Little Caesars have come to rely on BHI SecureConnect to protect their customers, company and brand.
With the successes the company continues to experience, BHI SecureConnect is honored to be part of the Inc. 5000. Realizing that the list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs, the company will continue to strive for excellence by offering innovative, leading technology solutions.
