"One of the reasons why we chose ControlScan as the PCI compliance provider
for our small merchant portfolio is because they provide comprehensive, yet
easy-to-use solutions designed for small merchants," said Jim Anderson,
chief executive officer, Electronic Commerce International, a leading
provider of credit and debit card payment processing services for small and
medium-sized merchants. "ControlScan's PCI 1-2-3 Security Awareness Program
provides a clear understanding of the security issues facing small
merchants and provides them with actionable information they can use every
day."
"Smaller merchants often lack the security background, resources and
awareness required to develop an effective security awareness training
program," said Joan Herbig, chief executive officer, ControlScan.
"ControlScan's PCI 1-2-3 Security Awareness Training is tailored
specifically to small merchants. The training is focused on communicating
the best practices small merchants need to ensure a more secure business,
and it is delivered in conversational, non-technical language that small
merchants can relate to."
ControlScan's PCI 1-2-3 Security Awareness Training conforms to all known
Local, State and Federal mandates for annual security awareness training
and is made available to merchants through its PCI 1-2-3 compliance program
at no additional cost. For more information please call 1-800-825-3301 or
