Step 3: Engage all external resources to make your merchants aware of PCI Compliance
Not only do acquirers and/or the ISO's of the acquirers need to promote and advocate for PCI Compliance within the doors of their own companies, getting the word out to all merchants is an ongoing key component to any successful implementation program.
"Use whatever media outlet you can utilize," says Stanton. This may include websites, statement insert programs, e-mails, call center personnel," he continued.
According to Stanton, ControlScan builds a customized PCI gateway for all ISO and acquirer partners which can be used as a centerpiece of the PCI compliance solution. The PCI gateway provides a one-stop place for everything needed to meet and pass the PCI compliance DSS standards. It also provides ISO and acquirers a place to track and monitor their merchants compliance status.
