Daisy Wholesale has been chosen by Phoenix Managed Networks to provide a range of services for its Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) Level One certified cloud-based network security and management solution.
PhoeniXSentry offers security for the processes and data carried through transactional networks, to which Daisy Wholesale will be providing telephone line, internet connectivity, a managed installation service and the option of 3G failover.
As well as supporting PCI compliance, PhoeniXSentry is an independently certified ICSA Labs security appliance and boasts features such as included WiFi, 3G failover, usage reporting, content filtering, real-time proactive status alerts and Virtual Private Network (VPN) capabilities.
As part of the partnership, PhoeniXSentry will be made available to Daisy Wholesale's reseller partners.
Mark Hickey, Director at Daisy Wholesale commented: "There is already a high level of interest among the reseller community for this service.
"For the SME market, the PhoeniXSentry solution provides those businesses that may not have much in-house capability with the reassurance that they are being diligent with their network security and complying with their PCI regulations, allowing them to focus on the growth of their business."
The launch of PhoeniXSentry comes at a pivotal time for the transactional networking market, as new PCI regulations come into fruition, and as banks and card issuers start to crack down on non-compliant businesses.
Alan Stephenson-Brown, Senior Vice President of International Sales and Business Development at Phoenix Managed Networks, said: "Daisy's partnerships with all of the major UK networks is an important resource, saving us valuable time which would otherwise have been spent managing the relationships with multiple suppliers."
