Security Solutions for Retail Industry

Retailers and other organizations are waking up to the need to become compliant with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards imposed by the various payment card providers. Until now, enforcement has mainly focused on larger retailers and card processors; however, the standards apply to any organization that receives, stores or transmits payment card data. This includes retailers, banks, credit unions, and other service providers.

To achieve compliance, organizations must dedicate countless dollars, retain armies of consultants, and are forced through a gauntlet of detailed requirements for protecting cardholder data. PCI also requires merchants and service providers that store, process, or transmit large volumes of cardholder data to perform a detailed assessment by a PCI SSC-certified Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) in order to prove compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS). PCI is a black-and-white all-or-nothing standard with rigid requirements: if your organization complies with 99 out of 100 items, it fails. Penalties for non-compliance place your organization at risk, especially if non-compliance results in a shutdown of transaction processing operations for just one day, or even for hours.

As an industry leader and trusted partner, ENO Institute has delivered PCI Onsite Audits for many retailers who are required to comply with the PCI Data Security Standards to conduct business. Our consultants have real-world experience in understanding PCI requirements, how those requirements impact organizations across many different industries, and the solutions needed to ensure compliance. In addition, our PCI Onsite Audit will fulfill the PCI DSS requirement for an annual onsite audit by a third-party assessor. ENO Institute performs the onsite audit, which includes all processes, architecture, and IT controls as defined by the PCI DSS, and provides a Report on Compliance (“RoC”). In the event an organization does not have all requirements in place, we will work as a Trusted Security Advisor to provide remediation recommendations and services. After validation, we can issue a new, validated RoC, verifying that the organization is fully compliant.
