Power Pay is the largest independent payment processing business in New England, and is located in the Portland, Maine downtown area. The Portland Public Market building, that is downtown Portland, Maine was abandoned, and after a ten million dollar renovation over the past few years, is now an energy efficient Gold LEED-certified office that employees 160 people.
The ability to customize solutions for every unique situation that different businesses experience, and the flexibility that is present, allows the PowerPay staff to provide solutions that keep them at the top of the merchant services accounts industry. The difference in PowerPay and other merchant service providers, is the fact that they handle everything in house, and do not outsource there services. This is imperative for quality, and security or fraud concerns, which PowerPay addresses by maintaining a PCI Level 1 service provider compliance.
With PowerPay’s recognition of consistently remaining a Level 1 compliant service provider with the PCI Data Security Standard, your business will feel the security and protection required for confident data transfer. You can be assured of up to date services, because merchant service providers are tested annually with an on site PCI Data Security Assessment for strict data security standards as set forth by Mastercard and Visa. PCI stands for Payment Card Industry, and is associated with the requirements set up by payment brands, so consumer account information will not be compromised.
Digital fraud from breaches in security are becoming a more common threat and have to be continually addressed. PowerPay understands this, and remains compliant, to keep their clients security at the forefront. They knows how important this data is, and will work with your business to make sure your business becomes and remains PCI compliant also. Consumers are very aware of how damaging a breach and fraud can be, so it will be nice to be able to offer them the peace of mind they deserve. Remaining PCI compliant will build a personal, trusting relationship between your business and the consumer, which often times results in a higher lifetime worth of the customer.
The different payment brands, like Mastercard and Visa, require a yearly assessment for validation of anyone that offers merchant services, like a shopping cart, payment gateway or web hosting company, among others. A business can always check the PCI compliance website for outlined steps. New security threats that emerge, cause the compliance requirements to be constantly updated. Remaining PCI compliant must be done at all times, while PCI validation is typically an annual requirement.
There are 12 requirements for PCI Compliance, which was made up by the PCI Security Standards Council, which include:
- Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data
- Do not use vendor supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters
- Protect stored cardholder data
- Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks
- Use and regularly update anti-virus software or programs
- Develop and maintain secure systems and applications
- Restrict access to cardholder data by business need to know
- Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access
