According to recent research, an annual PCI compliance audit can cost $500,000 or more and the cost of a breach has climbed to $214 per record, with an average total cost of $7.2M per breach.
Certes Networks not only helps organizations reduce the risk of data loss, but can also help to significantly reduce the time and cost of PCI compliance and audits by limiting the scope of what the auditors are required to examine.
Our flexible, easy to mange solutions decrease the complexity and cost of PCI DSS audits while increasing data security, without impacting performance or requiring changes to the underlying network infrastructure.
Using group encryption solutions powered by Certes TrustNet Manager it’s easy to achieve PCI compliance without sacrificing network performance. Through a web-based management platform that simplifies security management while preserving network performance and functionality, you can cryptographically segment your PCI regulated data from the rest of your network and significantly reduce the scope and cost of PCI compliance and future audits. This can greatly reduce the scope of the Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) while avoiding the changes to network infrastructure and legacy applications that are otherwise necessary when initiating a PCI compliance program.
In addition, even if an encrypted network is breached, companies are free from the notification requirements of PCI since all data is protected with a powerful combination of encryption and authentication.
