Simplify Your Annual Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) Process in Association with SecurityMetrics
Designed for Epicor customers, the Epicor Easy SAQ program allows an easy step-by-step process to gain Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance. You don’t have to worry about contacting a third-party application to verify your PCI compliance, and you can reduce the risk of a costly data breach. This program offers you continuing PCI information so that as the laws change, your organization remains educated and current.
Benefits
When it comes to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), many small and medium-sized merchants can become overwhelmed by the compliance process. Others are unsure if the PCI DSS even applies to them.
Doing nothing is not an option. PCI DSS is a set of standards that apply to all merchants to enhance point-of-sale security. And, according to SecurityMetrics®, a partner of Epicor, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses.
It’s easy to set PCI Compliance aside for another day, but the cost of a possible data breach without PCI Compliance can be devastating, especially for a small or mid-sized merchant. The cost can often range between $20,000 to $50,000, or higher, and includes the expense of forensic audits, card replacement costs, and fines that result from suspected or actual data breaches.
The program features an online validation tool, enabled by SecurityMetrics, which helps you complete the steps necessary for your PCI DSS certification. There are two components required to validate your business: the self-assessment questionnaire and conducting a vulnerability scan.
Once you register for the program, the platform will ask a few questions to determine the appropriate PCI wizard for your business. The wizard helps you fill out the correct self-assessment questionnaire to enable prepopulated answers where applicable, and a comprehensive Epicor PCI guidance document that explains each question in plain English. The tool will also identify if you require vulnerability scanning.
The registration process helps present a pathway for certification that’s not overly complex.
Upon registration, you will also be automatically enrolled in data breach coverage, enabled by Royal Group Services®, an electronic payments industry expert. In case of a data breach, your business will be covered for up to $100,000 of any resulting costs.
As a Qualified Security Assessor company (QSA-C), SecurityMetrics allows compliance auditing and consulting if you require a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA).
