"Compliance Program Management" SecurityMetrics PCI Program.

The SecurityMetrics PCI program makes documentation easy. One of SecurityMetrics' features in their PCI program is FastPass, a service that reduces questions merchants answer and pre-fills in answers based on what payment technology a merchant may be using. Additionally, with SecurityMetrics' PCI program, acquirers can track their merchants' compliance in one place and can report on over 100 fields of data. This gives acquirers the option to stay shallow or drill down deep. It's up to them and their needs.

SecurityMetrics offers award-winning support. SecurityMetrics support agents are available 24/7, along with live chat, email support, and a self-serve merchant portal. Merchant calls are answered within 18 seconds, on average.

SecurityMetrics has stellar results for helping their clients achieve a passing status on their SAQ. Currently, 93.6% of SecurityMetrics customers that started their SAQ have achieved a passing status within an average of 20.33 days.

"Cybersecurity Audit Team of the Year" for the SecurityMetrics Audit Team. 

SecurityMetrics QSAs have completed over 2,000 PCI audits and SecurityMetrics auditors have experience with more than just the PCI framework including NIST, HITRUST, EI3PA,, and more, allowing them to address the big picture of organizations' data security and compliance. 

Because SecurityMetrics has such a detailed scoping process, extensive pre-onsite phase, collaboration with other technical departments, and ongoing support phase, they only schedule 18 audits per year. SecurityMetrics focuses on quality over quantity. 

SecurityMetrics holds credentials in all aspects of PCI compliance, including PCI DSS assessments, SSF assessments, P2PE assessments, PIN assessments, forensic incident response, ASV scanning, penetration testing, card data discovery, security appliances, security training, and security consulting.
