Merchant Warehouse is Featured in ISO & Agent Magazine
In the November/December 2007 issue of ISO & Agent, Merchant Warehouse President & Co-CEO, Henry Helgeson, advises ISOs about the responsibilities they should assume to ensure their merchants’ compliance with the Payment Card Industry’s (PCI) data security regulations.
The relevance of this topic hits home for ISOs, especially when factoring in their share of liability and financial risk, should one of their merchants be deemed non-compliant by PCI standards. The editorial, entitled “Caveat ISO-ISO Beware!” addresses the proactive role that ISOs need to undertake to protect their business as well as the businesses of their customers’. ISOs are reminded of how it is not only critical, but beneficial for them to learn and remain conscious of PCI compliance regulations. “It’s highly recommended that ISOs immediately take action, coordinate with industry partners, and convey PCI compliance information and tactics to merchants. Unfortunately, there are still a vast majority of merchants who are less informed, if not completely unaware of these enhanced security policies, so it’s up to the ISO to educate their customers and make sure their businesses meet all necessary requirements,” Helgeson advises.
To learn more about what you can do to ensure your compliance with PCI data security policies, please call Merchant Warehouse at 800-941-6557.
