Trustwave is a leading provider of information security and compliance solutions.
The PCI DSS is the payment card industry security requirement for entities that store, process or transmit cardholder data, and has been endorsed by all the major card brands - Visa, MasterCard Worldwide, Discover Network, American Express and JCB.
In an effort to assist merchants with their compliance efforts, EVO Merchant Services engaged Trustwave to provide its merchants access to TrustKeeper®, Trustwave's innovative security and compliance web portal.
Trustwave's TrustKeeper is a revolutionary web portal that supports merchants' compliance efforts, including moving merchants through the complex compliance process with greater ease and efficiency by making the tasks achievable by non-technical users. This helps facilitate PCI DSS compliance validation for merchants or acquirers, ISOs and processors with large merchant populations.
Trustwave features PCI Wizard, which simplifies the complex PCI DSS compliance process. Additionally, TrustKeeper Agent helps merchants identify if unencrypted cardholder data or track data is stored, thereby reducing the merchants' risk of card data theft. TrustKeeper also helps merchants complete required vulnerability scans and receive their PCI DSS compliance certificate.
"It was important to partner with a compliance provider that could manage our large merchant portfolio and its varied industry types, as well as our smaller sub-ISO distribution network," said Jeff Rosenblatt, president of EVO Merchant Services. "Trustwave's industry expertise will help us deliver a merchant compliance program that streamlines the validation process into easy-to-complete steps that any-sized merchant can understand."
"Our new report - Payment Card Trends and Risks for Small Merchants - highlights that approximately 90 percent of compromises occur in Level 4 merchant environments because these smaller merchants do not have the resources to manage their compliance requirements or even know one exists," said Robert J. McCullen, chairman, CEO and president at Trustwave. "This partnership will enable EVO merchants to validate and maintain their compliance in an effective manner, which will help secure their business and allow for more time spent on key business objectives."
