PCI Data Security Standards
In 2004 the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, a regulatory body for the credit card industry, launched a new security initiative referred to as the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS). The PCI Data Security Standards were developed by the major card brands – Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover – in an effort to address the rising number of identity theft cases and to ensure the protection of your customers’ personally identifiable information.

Data Protection Program
Merchant Services has partnered with a number of data security companies to develop an enhanced and comprehensive Data Protection Program for your business. Protecting card holder data is critical to us, so we’ve created a user-friendly, low-cost program that not only assists you with your annual audit responsibilities and provides a step-by-step explanation of the compliance and reporting process, but also provides you with breach coverage of up to $100,000.

PCI Toolkit®
The PCI Toolkit® is an interactive, online system that provides the educational tools necessary to complete PCI compliance quickly and accurately. The program intuitively guides you through a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) that all merchants are required to perform annually, to identify the needs specific to your business. This is one of the easiest, most user-friendly programs available on the market.

Data Breach Coverage
The Data Breach Coverage Plan protects each merchant account for up to $100,000 in the event of a suspected or actual data breach. In 2009, 143 million personal records were compromised by data theft—and that number is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. Our program covers audit and card replacement costs as well as state, federal and card brand fines. Learn More
Customer Data Watch®
Our comprehensive Customer Data Watch® Mandatory Reporting of Compromised Personally Identifiable Information (PII) program answers the critical business need for swift and thorough response to a suspected or actual data breach.A breach or theft of PII could lead to what is better known as identity theft.
