EPX PCI compliance program
Is PCI compliance mandatory?
The Payment Card Industry’s Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) were implemented by the card brands to help merchants protect their credit and debit card payment systems from cybercriminal intrusions and the theft of cardholder information. They are governed by the PCI Security Standards Council.
Merchants must meet and maintain certain data management security requirements and confirm compliance on an annual basis to be considered compliant with PCI-DSS standards. Should a security breach and/or data compromise originate at a non-compliant merchant location, the card brands will likely impose significant fines and increased security requirements on the merchant, if they choose to remain in business.
What is PCI Plus?
PCI Plus is our PCI compliance experience available to every merchant doing business with us. The program was designed to minimize the onerous requirements of completing annual PCI compliance paperwork and to prevent our merchants from accidentally becoming non-compliant due to an unintended delinquency.
PCI Plus is a frictionless, easy-to-manage compliance system that automates most, and in a majority of cases, all of a merchant’s personal requirements. The program was created with your time and money in mind. You will be provided with the maximum level of PCI assurance and coverage possible, without the requirements of remembering to maintain annual compliance on your own.
What should I do if my business is not currently PCI compliant?
Please refer to your billing statement to confirm your existing PCI Plus Tier status. If you are designated as a Tier III merchant, be sure to contact our PCI Plus Care team right away to learn what steps you will need to take to achieve compliance.
