A Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) Solution for protecting cardholder data

The creation of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) was designed to increase the level of cardholder data security and protect both consumers and merchants from hackers and security breaches. While compliance with PCI DSS is now mandatory for all merchants and service providers that store, process and/or transmit cardholder data, the time and financial expense related to compliance is significant. That is why Element Payment Services has developed a unique new technology called Payment Account Secure Storage (PASS). PASS enables merchants and payment service providers to comply with PCI DSS with very little time, effort or financial impact while reducing the enormous financial risk inherent with storing, processing and/or transmitting cardholder data.

Advantages of Implementing PASS

• Mitigate Risk – PASS reduces the financial risk associated with storing sensitive cardholder data by removing the need for the merchant to store the data.
• Reduce Expenses – Ensuring PCI compliance usually involves the purchase of costly new payment processing equipment. With the implementation of PASS, you eliminate the need for those capital expenditures.
• Maximize Resources – Instead of focusing time and resources on PCI compliance merchants can focus on growing their business.
• Best-in-class Security – Customer’s confidential information is completely protected from step one of the transaction process. Data is transmitted via a secure 128-bit encrypted SSL connection and will reside at Element’s PCI DSS compliant storage facility.
• Free Professional Customer Service - Help is only a phone call away. As always, our skilled staff is standing by 24x7 to support your business and assist you in any way possible.
