I need a robust web server configured specifically for storing and managing transaction records. The entire environment must meet recognized industry standards such as PCI DSS, so every layer—from operating system hardening to database encryption and network configuration—has to align with those controls. Here is what success looks like to me: • Provision a scalable server (cloud or on-prem, your recommendation) built for high-volume transaction data. • Implement advanced encryption at rest and in transit, with key management that satisfies PCI DSS. • Configure access controls, logging, and monitoring so audit trails are complete and tamper-proof. • Provide clear documentation of the architecture, compliance checkpoints, and any scripts or automation used, so future audits are straightforward. • After deployment, run a vulnerability scan and share the report so I know we meet the standard from day one. If you have hands-on experience securing payment environments or passing PCI audits, this should be a quick conversation. Let me know your preferred stack and estimated timeline, and we can get started.
