Benefits

As your Merchant Service Provider, we are required to adhere to the card brand payments industry requirements in respect to PCI Compliance. It is our responsibility to help you understand the importance of data security. We value your business, and we want to help you to protect that business by offering you the necessary tools and resources to become and maintain PCI compliance.

To alleviate the confusion and misconception of PCI Compliance and its requirements, we have partnered with ContolScan, a premier leader in providing compliance and security services within the credit card processing industry.

As a valued merchant, we find that it is our obligation to educate our merchants of PCI and the consequences of being non-compliant.

Through our partnership with Control Scan, we’ve worked diligently to create and develop a comprehensive Compliance Program, including access to a web-based resource, providing merchants with the tools and support necessary to analyze, and validate PCI compliance.

Our tailored marketing portal is designed to provide merchants of every business type, real-time, easy to grasp articles and details on security that are fundamental to our PCI compliance service solutions. Through the marketing portal, merchants can easily access and see their compliance status, not to mention, learn of vulnerabilities and help guides with step by step fixes for any threats that may occur.

Not exactly sure what version of the PCI Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) is right for your business? Not to worry, we’ve developed a picture-driven qualification process that will help guide you towards the correct version, and even notify you if your business is required to have a vulnerability scan based on the way payment cards are processed.

For those merchants requiring a Vulnerability Scan, as a valued merchant you will receive a reduced price of $59/year for the first IP address; $39/year for each additional IP address, which you will pay directly to ControlScan.

For those merchants who don’t have a minute to spare, Security Awareness Training has been created in a non-technical, easy to digest manner which satisfies the PCI security awareness requirement.

After you’ve completed your PCI SAQ, our policy builder will provide you with a written security policy that will give you a list of procedures that should be practiced based on the way you accept credit cards. This policy or list of procedures can be printed and stored as the PCI standard requires.

Our newly revamped website also offers great tools and resources that can surely help guide you in the right direction to understanding and becoming PCI Compliant. We have spent countless hours developing articles to better help merchants understand PCI and the importance of becoming compliant. Our PCI Video, which is located on the homepage, informs merchants of PCI, its requirements, and the Breach Protection Program.

To assist our merchants and help allay their fears of a breach, we have implemented a Breach Protection Program as part of our Compliance Program for those merchants who successfully complete the PCI compliance requirements applicable to them. This program covers up to $25,000 in merchant fines, assessments and related expenses attributable to a qualified PCI data breach (some restrictions apply).  While this program is clearly not an insurance program, it shares one important objective – to protect against the unexpected.
