Rob went above and beyond for me on this project. He was very attentive, knowledgeable and professional. He took time to talk with and educate me on areas that I have zero experience in.

Rob was a pleasure to work with, he was very knowledgeable about PCI compliance, he helped with all our documentation, running our scans and identifying and fixing any issues.

Rob really went above and beyond to help me navigate a convoluted PCI compliance process, and painstakingly stuck with it until the job was finished.

PCI Compliance on my Website - AUG 2016
What an amazing find Rob was ... and just at the right time. Our website received a failing PCI scan with over 40 different failure errors (all of them way too technical for me or my team to understand). I hired Rob and within a matter of a few days, everything was fixed and our PCI scan passed. He handled everything including communication with PCI compliance company, communication with our hosting provider and communication back and forth with me. I cannot give Rob any higher recommendation.
