PCI Assist

We understand that PCI DSS compliance can be intimidating, especially for smaller merchants. That’s why Vantiv has partnered with Trustwave®, an industry leader in information security and compliance, to help you simplify the process with PCI Assist.

PCI Assist is a set of online tools that have been specially developed with Level 4 Merchants* in mind. With a wizard-style interface and an online security advisor, you’ll be advised on adopting best practices and follow important steps that lead to your PCI DSS compliance and validation.

* Level 4 Merchants are those processing less than 1 million transactions annually from all acceptance channels with one card brand, or those processing less than 20,000 e-commerce transactions annually with one card brand.

Benefits

Data security is constantly evolving. That’s why PCI DSS compliance must be maintained and validated every year. PCI Assist walks you through the process step by step and provides tools and best practices to help keep your business secure.

PCI Assist includes access to:

  • The Trustwave TrustKeeper® compliance portal for PCI DSS validation services, featuring the PCI Wizard to help identify your business’ steps for compliance
  • The Security Policy Advisor to help you comply with PCI DSS policy requirements and develop your own unique internal best practices
  • TrustKeeper’s external monthly vulnerability scanning tool to schedule and test for over 5,000 vulnerabilities
  • Online help, tutorials, and educational materials

How it Works

The PCI DSS certification process can be complicated, but we provide an efficient set of tools as part of the TrustKeeper portal to help guide you through the process:

  • TrustKeeper’s step-by-step PCI Wizard walks you through a self-assessment interview to assess how your business manages and protects your customers’ credit card information.
  • TrustKeeper uses this information to fill out the PCI certification form (also called the PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire or SAQ), which you will then have the opportunity to review and submit.
  • Some merchants might be required to complete a “network vulnerability scan” to help ensure their store or website is safe from Internet hackers. If this applies to you, TrustKeeper will also guide you through this process.
