The answer is obvious: Your company bears the significant brunt - from both an economic and brand perspective - when one of your merchants has a data breach.
Here's some interesting research you may or may not have seen about the impact on companies who experience data breaches:
Additionally, 3 data breach notification bills are currently in front of Congress, and 29 state have already produced legislation relative to protecting consumers against data breaches.
Well, it has been happening, and will continue to happen because you and your merchants today are gulping for air from the rising tide of information security requirements and compliance demands.
However, your company has the resources to manage this rising tide either through in-house expertise or outside consultants. The problem isn't with your security policy: the problem is pushing your security policy throughout your extended enterprise - down to your merchants, who do not have in-house expertise, nor the budget to hire outside experts.
Panoptic can provide your merchants the expertise to implement your security policy and prevent data breaches or mitigate the effects of them. Our expert system will guide you through the most efficient and cost-effective route to bringing your business environment quickly into compliance.
