PCI Compliance
The Mako System is powered by Mako Networks Ltd, a certified Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard (PCI DSS) Level 1 Networking and Security Service Provider. This means that you can easily
meet the requirements of PCI DSS compliance.
The PCI DSS rules have been designed to protect banks, merchants and cardholders from falling victim
to credit card fraud. PCI DSS outlines how a merchant should protect their point of sale network and
ensures security is maintained on an ongoing basis.
The Mako System lowers the cost and complexity of PCI DSS compliance by automating network
security and nearly every other process of a merchant's PCI DSS compliance.
With proactive alerts, merchants using the Mako System cannot mistakenly put themselves at risk of
non-compliance. Any attempt to inappropriately modify the network configuration will generate a
warning and require the user to confirm the modification by entering an authorising password.
Through Mako Networks, Mako provides a QSA-designed website which can deal with almost all
remaining aspects of merchant PCI DSS (documentation, policy and process), leaving the merchant only
having to take care of physical security.
The Mako system is the solution for card-present merchants transacting over IP, providing peace of mind
to cardholders, merchants and their banks. The Mako System enables a merchant to more easily comply
with all of their PCI DSS obligations. Many merchants lack the technical knowledge required to correctly
implement the PCI DSS requirements and buying in that experience is expensive using traditional
solutions.

VPN
Virtual Private Networks allow you to assign secure remote access to your networks over the Internet.
You can link 2 Mako-protected networks together using the CMS in seconds, using only 3 mouse-clicks!
Linking 3 or more Mako-protected networks is just as easy. The CMS allows this to happen without static
IP Addresses. In the same way you can also allow specified users remote access to your Mako-protected
networks with the Remote VPN feature – A useful feature for accessing your networks whether you're
home or away.

Proactive Alerts
The Mako CMS automatically provides proactive alerts for extraordinary usage, unit offline, worm
detection and hardware triggers such as fan speed and CPU temperature. The CMS also sends monthly
reports on usage, intrusion attempts and easy-to-read companywide summaries for end-users with
multiple sites.
B.9
Logging/Reporting
While all traffic from your CPE goes directly out onto the Internet, your CPE sends traffic information
securely to the CMS. This analysis gives you the ability to monitor and control your Internet usage, using
any PC from any worldwide location. Simply log onto the CMS to see how your business's broadband
Internet connection is being used, by whom and whether this was for personal or business use, monitor
where PCs on your network have been going and much more.
B.10
24-Hour Remote Control
Because your CPE uses the CMS, you or your designated IT Professional have 24-hour secure remote
control over your connection to the Internet. Via the CMS you can modify firewall rules, create and
disable VPNs, check usage patterns and even change your networks IP Addressing.
B.11
Automatic Updates
Mako automated software and firmware upgrades mean that new services and increased functionality
are added to the platform on an ongoing basis. Mako software is proactively patched and updated
immediately upon authentication and availability, providing unparalleled reliability and security without
