SecureConnect Expands Unique Offerings to Better Serve Quick Service Restaurant Operators

Sept. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- MINNEAPOLIS, MN - As the industry leader in providing Internet security and PCI compliance solutions, BHI Advanced Internet, provider of SecureConnect® has enhanced its easyPCI packages to include more comprehensive features.  The updated packages include File Integrity Monitoring and an Information Security Policy (ISP) template, both which help fulfill requirements within the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).  

With these new additions, SecureConnect® is far surpassing competitors in the industry.  “There is no other service provider or software company that offers File Integrity Monitoring specifically suited for the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) market” says Andrew Brooker, CISSP and Information Security Manager at BHI.  File Integrity Monitoring helps to identify unauthorized changes to critical files and notify you when such changes occur.  This is important as it can indicate that you have been breached or are at risk of being compromised.  “Bringing File Integrity Monitoring to market for SecureConnect® customers is very significant because it is extremely cost effective and easy to use.”  Brooker continues, “Because SecureConnect® offers File Integrity Monitoring as a service, it eliminates the need for owner/operators to invest in complex infrastructure.”

Another enhancement to the SecureConnect® suite of services is the Information Security Policy (ISP) template.  An Information Security Policy is the necessary driver for successful compliance and security initiatives.  The ISP serves as the governing mandate on how information must be stored, processed, transmitted and how changes to configuration and infrastructure are approved, changed, and tested.  As part of the twelfth requirement within the PCI DSS, the ISP is vital to maintaining effective security procedures.  “Offering this ISP template to the QSR industry at such a low price point is unparalleled to other software assisted policies and template offerings” Brooker states.  The SecureConnect® ISP template addresses the vast majority of security concerns for any organization.

As an innovative leader and single-source provider of PCI compliance services, BHI makes it easier for owner/operators to implement, maintain and monitor their network.  The latest enhancements to the easyPCI packages further address the needs of the QSR industry and increase security for SecureConnect® customers.
