Bridgevine, a local internet marketing company, connects advertising clients with customers, and helps merchandising affiliates monetize their websites. The company earned certification as a PCI Level I Service Provider. This special designation was granted by the PCI Security Standards Council, and both minimizes company business risk as well as protecting their advertiser and affiliate partners’ financial processing information.

The award came after Bridgevine implemented high security measures, as part of an infrastructure strengthening initiative, and completed rigorous scans on firewall security and compliance.

Announcing the certification, Vinny Olmstead, Bridgevine CEO, said, “Obtaining Level I PCI certification is an immense accomplishment for Bridgevine, and a true validation of the security measures we’ve taken to protect our customers. This designation strengthens our advertiser services, and proves our affiliate Internet marketing programs are handled with the utmost care and security. We’re proud to give our customers the peace of mind that comes from knowing our internal processes and controls have been rigorously tested and validated according to industry standards.”

The six core principles of PCI DDS certified companies include building and maintaining a secure network; protecting cardholder data and regularly monitoring and testing their networks.
