Increase Your Online Sales Using PCI Compliance Scanning


  


Let’s begin by defining what PCI Compliance scans are and how they can actually make you more money online. PCI stands for the “Payment Card Industry.” The top credit card companies got together and created an organization to regulate their industry. 

To comply with the requirements of the Payment Card Industry, you need to conduct periodic vulnerability scanning. The sweet thing is, and what most online business owners fail to realize, is that with the right marketing, ensuring that your website complies with PCI rules can actually increase your online sales.

So how exactly can scanning my website help business owners make more money more often online?  

A few respected providers of PCI authorized scanning like Trust Guard and McAfee Secure offer seals – digital images – that site administrators can post on their websites.  These images show online consumers that the website is safe and secure and that it meets the requirements set forth by the PCI Security Standards Council including consistent vulnerability scanning.

Several blind testing has shown that posting a Security PCI Compliance Scan Seal on websites, preferably at the top right hand side next to your shopping carts can increase sales by more than 5%. Visitors who click on the seal to review the certificate of authenticity and verification of actions provided by the scanning company buy even more often. Some testing has shown an average increase in sales of 15% by using a PCI compliant security scanning seal with accompanying certificate. 

Make no doubt about it:  If you are a website owner, your first order of business is to protect your site from hackers with PCI compliant security scanning. But while selecting your vulnerability scanning provider, invest your time and efforts into finding a respected company that also offers a security scanned seal with accompanying verification certificate. That way your site will be safe and your sales will increase.
