Simple PCI Program Remodel Drives Additional, Sustainable Revenue Stream

NEW ORLEANS, April 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- (ETA Annual Meeting and Expo, Booth #634) – SecurityMetrics advocates the importance of remodeling Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) programs to drive additional revenue at the 2013 ETA Annual Meeting and Expo. The company encourages merchant processors to optimize merchant value and strengthen customer relationships through add-on security tools, reselling opportunities, and PCI ease-of-use strategies that may supplement and/or create a security-related revenue stream.

As more industry demand is placed upon driving revenue through compliance channels, acquirers and ISOs can easily maintain sustainable revenue solutions without skimping on merchant security or causing attrition. For example, data discovery network tools and internal vulnerability scanning provide opportunities to positively affect both revenue and security.

"Everyone understands the strategy behind revenue-generating PCI compliance programs, but those programs have the potential to be far more than just Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs), scans, and non-compliance fees," said SecurityMetrics CEO Brad Caldwell. "In SecurityMetrics' research, over 80% of merchants independently choose to cover their business through add-on breach prevention technology, proving they are willing and ready to accept additional security solutions."
