Press Release Body = Jersey City, NJ (August 28, 2007) - Comodo, a global
Certification Authority and leading provider of Identity and Trust Assurance
Management solutions has announced a strategic partnership with
Merchant-Accounts.ca, an innovative Canadian merchant account service provider, to
offer Comodo’s range of PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliancy and security scanning
tools to Canadian eMerchants.
Merchant-Accounts.ca delivers merchant accounts and credit card processing solutions
for small and mid-sized Canadian businesses. A synergistic addition to
Merchant-Accounts’ offerings are Comodo’s advanced suite of security and anti-hacker
tools. With these services, Merchant-Accounts.ca customers will achieve improved
website security, prevent attacks from hackers, and maintain PCI compliance.
"PCI compliance is a security standard that must be adhered to by all merchants that
transmit or store sensitive cardholder data, but it has not always been easy for
small and mid-sized merchants to comply with these new requirements," commented
David Goodale, CEO of Merchant-Accounts.ca. "We have chosen to partner with Comodo
because they offer highly effective and advanced security tools that are within the
grasp of a typical mid-sized Canadian merchant. Comodo delivers the best of all
worlds; cost effective solutions that are easy to use with an extremely advanced
suite of tools to maintain a secure website environment."
Comodo ensures that small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are effectively
compliant and secure through a highly cost- effective approach that combines PCI
compliancy and vulnerability management. The Comodo HackerGuardian Service Bundle
includes; a) PCI compliancy which delivers the required scanning to meet the
stringent standards on how e-merchants store customer data and b) vulnerability
management to ensure that servers are free from hackers. At $99, Comodo’s bundle
costs a fraction of the leading competitor’s solution, which runs more than $1,000.
"We developed HackerGuardian with a focus on enabling emerchants to be compliant
cost effectively," said Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of
Comodo. "Therefore, we are pleased to partner with companies that understand how to
deliver security to eMerchants while also delivering PCI compliancy."
