Panoptic Security's SaaS solution, ExpertPCI™, helps businesses assess whether or not they are PCI compliant and assists them through the PCI SAQ process. Panoptic can support all sizes and types of businesses, but its online web application was designed specifically for small to mid-size businesses to make the PCI compliance process easier. Using ExpertPCI™, merchants can quickly determine the right PCI Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) appropriate for their business and receive all the necessary documentation, which includes: completed SAQ, PCI compliance validation and reporting, a custom remediation plan, custom security policy and an incident response plan.

Panoptic Security's solution is unique in the industry partly because of its Vertical Specific POS Templates Program. This customized program makes it possible for similarly grouped merchants, based on the POS bundle, to achieve PCI compliance even easier and faster. Panoptic can help ISOs and their merchants achieve up to 70 percent customized pre-population of the appropriate SAQ.
