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.
