RBS Lynk and Trustwave are providing level three and level four merchants, as defined by the card brands, with access to online and onsite services designed to assist in identifying risky credit card acceptance practices.
Through the partnership with Trustwave, RBS Lynk merchants will have access to a variety of real-time data security tools that protect cardholder data as it is processed and/or transmitted to mitigate risk, including the Risk Profiler web-based risk analysis tool, TrustKeeper, a web-based compliance management solution that includes the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) self-assessment questionnaire, and other validation services.
The Risk Profiler program will determine the merchants required by RBS Lynk to complete a self-assessment questionnaire and undertake a network-vulnerability scan in accordance with PCI DSS regulations.
LeAnn Brown, assistant vice president and risk manager of PCI compliance at RBS Lynk, said: This program will help merchants meet the requirements of PCI DSS and ensure the protection of consumer card data. We are working with Trustwave to simplify the process for merchants to establish and maintain their compliance with these important security mandates.
