== Obtaining PCI Compliance ==
 +
 
 +
You need PCI Compliance if your website/business: '''accepts, transmits or stores any cardholder data.'''
 +
 
 +
 
 +
'''If that is you:'''
 +
 
 +
Find a Quality Security Accessor such as [https://www.securitymetrics.com SecurityMetrics] or [https://trustwave.com/ TrustWave], there are many such vendors. They will help you determine the type of compliance required for your business and provide the services to achieve and maintain compliance.

 +
 
 +
'''How do I know what level / validation type?'''
 +
 
 +
The Quality Security Accessor will help you determine this and based on PCI DSS Standards.
 +
 
 +
*The level of "compliance" required (1-4) is based on transaction or monetary volume.
 +
*The "Validation Type" determines the assessment requirements and is based on how much card data you store.

PCI compliance requires quarterly scans from a PCI compliance vendor.  Hostek.com goes above and beyond this requirement by having regular scans from two different PCI compliance vendors.  One vendor's scans are done quarterly.  The other's scans are done nightly.  This ensures that all potential PCI compliance issues are accurately identified and dealt with promptly.

Obtaining PCI Compliance

You need PCI Compliance if your website/business: accepts, transmits or stores any cardholder data.


If that is you:

Find a Quality Security Accessor such as SecurityMetrics or TrustWave, there are many such vendors. They will help you determine the type of compliance required for your business and provide the services to achieve and maintain compliance.


How do I know what level / validation type?

The Quality Security Accessor will help you determine this and based on PCI DSS Standards.

  • The level of "compliance" required (1-4) is based on transaction or monetary volume.
  • The "Validation Type" determines the assessment requirements and is based on how much card data you store.

A copy of the PCI DSS is available here. More general unofficial details can be found at here.

How Hostek complements efforts for PCI compliance

  1. Insuring PCI standards can be met and kept for our own systems.
  2. Providing firewall protection for all servers and the option for PCI compliant firewall rules to be applied to customers environment.
  3. Providing VPN for customers to securely connect and manage environment remotely.
  4. Providing VLAN (virtual private network) for customers environment with multiple servers so their database server is completely isolated from public access.
  5. Including or offering Anti-Virus scanning on VPS and/or Shared Hosting servers.
  6. Protecting physical access to network and servers. Data centers are managed & monitored 24x7 by security cameras and on-site staff.

Hostek PCI Compliance Reports

PCI compliance requires quarterly scans from a PCI compliance vendor. Hostek.com goes above and beyond this requirement by having regular scans from two different PCI compliance vendors. One vendor's scans are done quarterly. The other's scans are done nightly. This ensures that all potential PCI compliance issues are accurately identified and dealt with promptly.

Hostek Limited PCI Compliance Report

Datacenter

The St. Louis, MO data center where the Hostek.com equipment is housed maintains SOC 2 certification.

The Ashburn, VA datacenter where Hostek.com equipment is house maintains SOC 2 and SOC 3 certifications.


Previous Certification Types

SOC 2 replaced the SSAE 16 certification.

SSAE 16 replaced the SAS 70 certification.

Shared Servers

We support PCI compliance on our shared hosting servers. If your PCI scan shows any issues that are not directly related to your web application, you can attach the report in a support ticket so that we can address any issues.

We are disabling support for TLS 1.0 on our Shared Windows Servers.

  • Disabling TLS 1.0 is now required for PCI DSS compliance.
  • This change is to ensure that any connection over HTTPS is secured against "eavesdropping" from Man-In-The-Middle(MITM) attacks.
  • The majority of users will be unaffected by this change because it will only affect outdated browsers and old mobile devices that do not support TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2.

Internet Explorer

  1. After disabling this protocol Internet Explorer 11(only supported on Windows 7 and up) will be the only version of Internet Explorer that can view HTTPS pages on the shared Windows servers.
  2. Users with Windows XP and Windows Vista will have an unsupported version of Internet Explorer. In order to view HTTPS pages these users will need to use an alternate browser (Example: Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox, Safari, etc.).

NOTE: If you are on a shared server or a managed VPS, please submit a support ticket [1] and attach/include your PCI scan report. The information below is for our non managed VPS customers.

  • Place the following text in a file named TLS.reg and execute the file. It will add registry values to enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 support:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\Schannel\Protocols\TLS 1.1]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\Schannel\Protocols\TLS 1.1\Client]

  • After completing the above step, go to Start -> Run -> (type gpedit.msc) -> (click OK)
  • Navigate to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Template -> Network -> SSL Configuration Settings
  • Right click on SSL Cipher Suite Order and choose Edit (Windows 2008 R2) or Properties (Windows 2008)
  • Select Enabled and replace the text in the textbox under SSL Cipher Suites(not to be confused with the Notes textbox) with the following long line of text(All on a single line - no line breaks or spaces):

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256_P256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256_P384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256_P521,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384_P256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384_P384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384_P521,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256_P256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256_P384,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256_P521,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384_P384,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384_P521,TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256_P256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256_P384,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256_P521,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384_P384,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384_P521,TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5,SSL_CK_RC4_128_WITH_MD5,TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_MD5

  • Click OK
  • Reboot server

Disable SSLv2 & Strong Cyphers Only & Strong Protocols Only

If you are on a shared server, please open a support ticket and attach the PCI scan report.

For VPS's: This generally applies to a Windows based server. If you see one of these items on your PCI scan report, download this zip [2] and extract the appropriate .reg file and put that on your VPS and double click it to make the appropriate registry change to fix the issue. Generally if one of these show on your report, we suggest running all three .reg files to fully take care of the issue at one time.

NOTE: You will need to reboot the server for these changes to take affect.
