Key Issues over the next 12-24 months

This is a global card scheme mandate to track and ultimately evidence all merchants are compliant with PCI DSS standard which is a set of auditable questions which shows that the merchant is holding card data in a secure manner (Merchant levels 1-4).

The merchant compliancy rates for these merchants has started to fall back rather than continue to rise; the rate is currently 32 ideally this should be above 80. The biggest risk area is ecommerce; of those merchants we know are ecommerce the compliance rate is currently 42, this needs to be close to 100. We are not happy with the service we or our merchants receive from this partner company and they are unable or unwilling to work with us to improve the quality of their service so a replacement service is being sought.

There are over 500 merchants at level 1-2-3 at any one time and there are various deadlines affecting segments of those merchants. The compliance progress has been greatly improved through close account management and improved processes; however there are several initiatives to pursue.
