Why IT Security Matters
In today’s digital world, businesses face a constant barrage of cyber threats. With the average cost of a data breach now at $4.88 million, strong information security practices are crucial. It’s no longer a question of if you’ll be targeted, but when. Protecting your sensitive data, securing your computer systems, and staying ahead of potential breaches are essential steps in safeguarding your business.
At PCI, we deliver cloud security, network security, and endpoint protection to keep your business safe. Our managed security services provider (MSSP) offering includes everything from security awareness training to threat hunting, allowing your business to focus on growth while we focus on monitoring and managing your security risks.
Our Comprehensive IT Security Services
Threat Detection & Response
PCI Shield:
Modern cyber attacks operate silently within your network, often for days or weeks before discovery. Threat detection catches these attacks early, when damage is minimal. PCI’s 24/7 threat detection and response service provides continuous monitoring of your environment across endpoints, identities, and cloud systems, with real security analysts validating alerts and responding to threats in real time.
- 24/7 Continuous Monitoring: Our SOC monitors for malware, ransomware, unauthorized access, and suspicious identity activity around the clock. Every high-risk alert is reviewed by a trained security analyst to eliminate false positives and focus on real threats.
- Rapid Incident Response: When a threat is detected, our team investigates its scope, confirms impact, and takes immediate action. Endpoints are isolated, malicious processes are terminated, and compromised accounts are secured, often within minutes.
- Endpoint & Identity Protection: Coverage spans Windows, macOS, and Linux devices as well as Microsoft 365 identities, recognizing that attacks often begin with stolen credentials rather than malware alone.
- Centralized Logging & Compliance: One year of integrated log retention provides visibility for investigations, audits, and regulatory requirements without managing a separate platform.
Why This Matters:
The average time to detect a breach is 207 days. During that window, attackers can steal data, deploy ransomware, or establish persistence for future attacks. Threat detection compresses this timeline from months to minutes, reducing damage and protecting your business from the most damaging phase of a cyber attack.
Phishing Simulation & Security Awareness Training
PCI SecurityIQ:
A strong security program starts with your employees. Most security breaches stem from human error, making security awareness training essential. PCI SecurityIQ is training that helps employees understand how to avoid common attacks, like phishing, while keeping your company’s sensitive data safe.
- Monthly Phishing Simulations: Test your employees’ ability to detect and avoid phishing attempts with staggered email simulations.
- Quarterly Awareness Training: Our interactive, animated videos and quizzes keep employees up to date on the latest cyber threats.
- Analytics and Reporting: Use our detailed analytics to see where improvements can be made, tracking the effectiveness of your team’s progress over time.
Why This Matters:
41% of all security breaches involve credential theft, but ongoing security awareness training significantly reduces the likelihood of these breaches. Stronger security practices mean fewer chances for attackers to succeed.
Vulnerability Scanning and Penetration Testing
PCI Secure:
Your network is only as secure as its weakest point. PCI’s vulnerability scanning identifies gaps in your network security, preventing unauthorized access to your information technology systems.
- Quarterly Vulnerability Scanning: These scans identify weaknesses across servers, endpoints, and network devices. Vulnerabilities are prioritized using CVSS scoring for effective remediation planning.
- Annual Penetration Testing: PCI provides real-world hacking simulations to evaluate your ability to detect and defend against attacks. We will then provide detailed reporting with recommendations for mitigation.
- Actionable Reporting: Our reports provide clear executive summaries for leadership and technical detail for IT teams to act on quickly
Why This Matters:
Identifying vulnerabilities early on allows you to resolve them before they become full-blown security breaches. Our scans provide a clear picture of your network security posture, highlighting areas for improvement.
Vulnerability Remediation
PCI Secure+:
PCI Secure+ includes all the same vulnerability scanning and penetration testing of PCI Secure, plus remediation support to address identified vulnerabilities, ensuring issues are resolved efficiently.

FAQs
What is the difference between PCI Secure and XDR?
PCI Secure identifies vulnerabilities through scheduled assessments and penetration testing coordination, while XDR provides continuous monitoring and response to active threats. PCI Secure helps you find weaknesses before attackers do, while XDR helps protect against threats in real time.
What does XDR actually do for my business?
XDR provides 24×7 monitoring of your enrolled endpoints and user identities to detect suspicious activity, investigate alerts, and take containment actions when threats are identified. The service helps reduce the time between threat detection and response, minimizing business disruption.
What types of threats can XDR detect?
The service is designed to detect malware, ransomware, suspicious account activity, unauthorized access attempts, and behavioral anomalies that may indicate a cyberattack.
What happens if a threat is discovered?
PCI analysts investigate the alert, determine its severity, and may take containment actions such as isolating a compromised device, disabling a user account, or blocking malicious activity. For less critical threats, client approval is obtained before disruptive actions are taken.
How long are XDR security logs retained?
Security event data is retained for up to 12 months, with approximately 30 days of active data readily available for investigation and reporting.
Why is security awareness training important?
Employees are often the first line of defense against cyber threats. SecurityIQ helps reduce human-driven cybersecurity risk by educating users, reinforcing good security habits, and measuring behavior through phishing simulations and training.
How much effort is required from our internal IT team for SecurityIQ?
SecurityIQ is designed to be highly automated. PCI manages campaigns, training workflows, reporting, and content updates, minimizing the administrative burden on your team.
How long do the SecurityIQ trainings take to complete?
Our SecurityIQ quarterly trainings can typically be completed in 3 to 8 minutes.
What happens when an employee fails a phishing test?
Users who fail a phishing simulation are automatically enrolled in targeted security awareness training designed to reinforce secure behavior and reduce future risk.
What information will I receive after an PCI Secure assessment?
You’ll receive a report that includes vulnerability findings, severity rankings, CVSS scores, remediation recommendations, and trend analysis where applicable.
