The Storage Group Puts a Premium on Security, Which is Why It is PCIC Compliant

MAITLAND, Fla. - Jan. 22, 2016 - PRLog -- MAITLAND, Florida – Everyone likes to feel secure, whether it is in the safety of their home, car or with their personal information. The business that truly cares about protecting the security of its customers is one whose image will stand tall. There may be no area of the business world where security matters more than in protecting customers’ credit card information. The Storage Group (TSG) puts a premium on the security of self storage customers, which is why the company was recently certified as PCIC Compliant.

While The Storage Group itself does not itself store customer information from tools like ClickandStor™ (one of the most highly regarded online rental tools in the industry), it does collect and pass through credit card information to the property management systems with whom it integrates. Because that information is temporarily in the hands of The Storage Group, it must remain secure.

This past November and December The Storage Group passed the Trustwave security tests and received a PCI DSS Certificate of Compliance. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) applies to companies of any size that accept credit card payments. If a company accepts card payments or stores, processes and transmits cardholder data, it needs to host its data with a PCI compliant hosting provider.

It all adds up to the strongest of commitments by The Storage Group to protect its clients and their customers.

“Nowadays so many transactions take place over the Internet and everyone is well aware that there is a kind of danger in doing them, so we at The Storage Group are doing our utmost to make sure everything is secure,” said Steve Lucas, COO of TSG. “Everyone at TSG is working to make sure there is no chance of a breach as information passes from Point A to Point B.”

“We went through a process that takes about six months to finish to be recognized as PCIC Compliant,” added Lucas. “Even though The Storage Group doesn’t keep any of the data that we collect, we felt that assuring our customers and their renters that they were secure would be beneficial to everyone.”

The Storage Group (TSG) has over 40 years of combined self storage industry experience and a team of Internet Marketing experts who specialize in website design and online marketing strategies including pay-per-click advertising, search engine optimization, social media marketing and local listing management. The Storage Group also created the original and most trusted online self storage rental tool, ClickandStor™.  TSG's proven Internet Marketing strategies help self storage facilities capture target markets and increase rentals.
