MiraTel, asserts Fusepoint, provides back-end support for the Canadian lotto industry, and is in the middle of expanding that with an internet ticket-selling platform. The application, which is structured to be active in under a month, is also subject to stern PCI compliance necessities, which, naturally, include many challenges for the hosting provider. The deal demonstrates, at least, that as the July 2010 cut-off point for PCI compliance ( a cut off point imposed by the Visa card industry ) approaches, there’s business out there for hosting firms that have taken on the challenge of compliance.
“As one of the sole Tier 1 PCI compliant hosting providers in Canada we are seeing extremely robust demand in the market as setups outsource the vital parts of their payment environment to guarantee acceptance of leading industry standards. The core payment collection technology is live and processing payments for another charitable lotto.
Fusepoint claims its security and application development groups collaborated across the development of the site to guarantee the project would go along with PCI standards with each element, including the payment application, hardware, bandwidth, info backup, firewall, antivirus, intrusion detection and monitoring and reporting. “We needed a Canadian managed services provider that would aid us in developing and handling an online website that might gather payment info and obey Tier 1 PCI standards.
Fusepoint simply met both of those necessities and supplied us with the knowledge and experience we wanted to develop a nimble, safe and secure web site. Fusepoint’s website has a lengthy section on PCI compliance, including a downloadable PDF primer on PCI requirements.
