Preventative Security Solutions

You have heard the phrase “the best offense is a good defense” and no more is that true anywhere as it is in defending your network from today’s cyber criminals and system malfunctions. Contingent delivers best-in-class preventative network security solutions that you need to operate an enterprise wide area network. At no time is your data more vulnerable than when it is traversing a WAN, so reliable preventative measures on the WAN are perhaps even more necessary than in storage. Contingent also knows that each Client’s needs are different so we provide modular options to secure your network.

Contingent is a Level 1 PCI-DSS Certified Managed Security Service Provider

As a customer of Contingent you can rest assured that your network is safe and in good hands. However, there is no need to take our word for it, Contingent has earned PCI (Payment Card Industry) certification by the PCI Security Standards Council. 

Contingent provides the hardware and configuration services to implement a securely encrypted VPN Connection between Client site locations and the client’s corporate data center. Protection of confidential financial transactional data and communications is accomplished through VPN design, deployment and support and is a core focus at Contingent. No clear text cardholder data is received, handled, or stored by Contingent. Only data, already encrypted by the client is passed from the client network through the Contingent VPN and delivered to the client’s corporate data center. Contingent manages the firewall rule set at the client site per the direction of the client’s staff.

While Contingent manages the firewall in a manner compliant with the PCI-DSS, the client has sole control and responsibility for the content of the firewall rule set, as it pertains to client network traffic. The table below describes Contingent’s compliance
