Also, Trust Guard's Trust Seals they offer can help you increase your sales on your site if you follow Trust Guard's recommendations and place them where recommended.

I utilize trust-guard for all my scans and their PCI Scans have proven to scan more vulnerabilities than McAffee. As far as company verification goes they required multiple faxes for my company documentation as well as my personal documentation. They also prepared my Privacy Statement and they verify my statement any time a change is made to it. As far as the negative individuals that posted earlier they have not used the services offered by Trust-Guard to know for a fact that the offerings are indeed real and accurate. I work very hard to make sure my company is a trusted entity as there are too many companies out there that focus on ripping people off. I believe in building my company from a base of integrity and not from any other level. Thank you Trust-Guard for providing affordable services for my site. Sincerely, Thomas Applegate CEO Applegate Technologies LLC *****

Apparently these naysayers have never used the service. Not just anybody or company can run PCI scans, but Trust Guard does. The only other one I can think of is McAfee, but they are like 10 times more expensive. I think all the posts from ***** (sound suspicious?) should get their facts straight.
