Case Study: Ignite Media Solutions achieves simplified, automated PCI compliance with Qualys

Ignite Media Solutions - Customer Case Study

Ignite Media Solutions, a direct-response marketing firm that collects and forwards clients’ payment data and handles millions of transactions as it moves from Level 2 to Level 1 merchant status, needed to operationalize PCI DSS across two data centers. The company faced the challenge of building a cost‑effective, sustainable program for continuous vulnerability and configuration management, network monitoring, and automated compliance without relying on costly third‑party scans.

Ignite implemented QualysGuard PCI to automate network discovery, predefined PCI scans, reporting, and validation, and to complete the online self-assessment. The on‑demand solution gave them flexible, in‑house scanning after changes or patches, simplified remediation validation, and clear documentation and dashboards—enabling continuous, cost‑effective PCI compliance and a more secure infrastructure.
