Responsibility for PCI Compliance

Using the Merchant Solution Consultancy does not remove the merchant responsibility to complete and maintain compliance. Our Consultancy and our Direct connection with our partners worldwide designed to make PCI Compliance easier for you. If you operate your business only via a website and you follow our instructions precisely, we find that most merchants are able to qualify for the simplest path to PCI Compliance via SAQ A.
However, because all merchant businesses are different, we recommends that you assess your particular business needs carefully with regards to the compliance process and ensure you are following the appropriate requirements.
A Note.
Most merchants who use our Merchant solutions will not be required to have regular scans of their website. However the PCI Council has left the determination of this requirement to the merchant banks. For this reason we recommend that you check with your acquiring bank on the need to have scans.
