Merchant PCI Compliance

As a valued client of Marathon Processing Systems and as a merchant accepting credit/debit cards for payment, you are required to be compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). The PCI DSS details security requirements for members, merchants and service providers that store, process or transmit cardholder data. This means that the processes and applications by which your business processes and handles credit and debit card data must abide by the standards set forth by the PCI Security Standards Council. These standards were established by the major credit card associations. To demonstrate compliance with the PCI DSS, merchants are required to submit an attestation of compliance annually.

Marathon Processing Systems has formed a relationship with ControlScan, an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) by the PCI Council, to assist you in understanding and meeting the requirements needed to validate and maintain PCI compliance. ControlScan’s easy-to-use solution makes achieving compliance less complicated.  ControlScan’s PCI 1-2-3 compliance program will provide you with access to:

•  ControlScan’s PCI 1-2-3 Self-Assessment Questionnaire
•  ControlScan’s PCI 1-2-3 Policy Builder
•  ControlScan’s PCI 1-2-3 Security Awareness Training
•  ControlScan’s PCI 1-2-3 Scanning (if applicable)
•  Knowledgeable support staff

Please remember, it is YOUR responsibility per the PCI DSS, as a merchant accepting credit and debit card payments, to safeguard customer card data by becoming PCI compliant. Again, in order to comply with the card brands and to help avoid potentially hefty fines, merchants must meet the PCI DSS requirements.
