DENVER, July 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- HOSTING, a leading provider of enterprise-class managed cloud services, today announced it has once again successfully validated compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 2.0. HOSTING is a Level 1 Service Provider, offering managed PCI compliance solutions for all types of organizations since 2005—from Level 1 Service Providers to Level 4 Merchants.  The company undergoes a formal assessment annually.

In order to achieve compliance, HOSTING underwent an extensive evaluation of its policies, procedures and technical systems in each of its six data centers by a certified third-party qualified security assessor (QSA), TrustWave®. "HOSTING puts a great deal of rigor behind PCI DSS compliance. In fact, we can take on as much as 70% of the PCI DSS requirements for our clients, "said Art Zeile, CEO of HOSTING.
