The nCircle Certified PCI Scan Service(TM) -- the industry's most
accurate, self-service, on-demand scanning solution certified by the PCI
Security Standards Council -- may be used by merchants of all sizes and at
all levels to certify that their externally-facing payment network is
secure. The nCircle Certified PCI Scan Service enables merchants to achieve
certified third-party validation of PCI compliance on a quarterly basis as
required by the PCI Data Security Standard. nCircle was recently
recertified as an Approved Scan Vendor, meeting the latest strict
requirements set by the PCI Security Standards Council, offering the most
comprehensive, dependable external assessment of a payment network.

complete and accurate view of their PCI compliance status and how well they
are protecting customer card data.
