NetBoundary uses security products that are rated as the leaders in the industry by Gartner and builds managed security service offerings around them to offer clients the best security technology combined with NetBoundary’s management and monitoring services to deliver quick and cost effective solutions that solve the expensive ongoing technology requirements of Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance.

The real cost of PCI compliance is not in getting compliant but the ongoing cost of maintaining compliance. One of the biggest problems Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) has faced over the past year or so has been Merchant education about PCI DSS and what is needed to achieve compliance.

It has been difficult and confusing for Merchants who have been trying to analyze what equipment, applications, data, etc.. that they already have in place and what sections of the requirements they solve vs. what is needed to achieve compliance. One of the most important factors that many Merchants seem to over look in their analysis is an accurate assessment of the level of service they believe they can provide themselves by managing the ongoing technical management and monitoring of all aspects of compliance themselves. Other factors that are often understated or overlooked all together is the cost in human resources as well as additional equipment, software, licensing and maintenance cost that will be required to achieve and maintain ongoing compliance. This lesson will be learned at the expense of reduced levels of security event response, their employee's diminished quality of life and the realized need to hire additional security personnel to meet the 24/7 monitoring requirements of compliance. This lesson will be learned at the expense of valued employees and hundreds of thousands of wasted dollars to learn that it is impossible for a Merchant to cost effectively respond and manage the sheer volume of alerts and false positives that are generated by these network security systems.

"By outsourcing monitoring and management of established security systems to managed security service providers, most enterprises can increase security while reducing operational costs, and free up internal security resources to deal with changing business needs and new threats." - John Pescatore, VP Distinguished Analyst, Gartner, Inc
