1. Failing to scan your network leaves you vulnerable to cyber threats like ransomware, malware, data breaches and expensive fines.

• Many processors bypass network scans leaving you at risk. Scanning your network alerts you of potential threats and vulnerabilities.

2. Your processor may mislead you by saying PCI compliance is not important or that they will complete the requirements for you.

• Processors generate millions of dollars in revenue from PCI non- compliance fees and they do not have your business interests in mind.

3. You don’t get the necessary policies and procedures required to validate PCI compliance.

• You are required to maintain policies and procedures that protect card- holder data. Most processors do not provide this information.

4. You’ll spend valuable time completing requirements and submitting all the required PCI documents.

• Merchants can waste hundreds of hours validating and maintaining PCI compliance when they could be focusing on their business.

5. Your business isn’t safe without breach protection or cyber liability coverage.

• Most processors do not provide you with any protection in the event of a breach, leaving you saddled with enormous fines and recovery costs.
