Getting Started with TransArmor^® PCI Rapid Comply^® enabled by Trustwave

PCI Compliance Made Easy

Compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is mandatory and often confusing for merchants

You have been set-up with an easy-to-use PCI DSS compliance program in PCI Rapid Comply^® as part of the TransArmor® Solution from your merchant processing provider. This program will make it easier than ever for your business to both achieve data security in your business and maintain PCI DSS certification.

PCI Rapid Comply simplifies the PCI DSS process. It will help you complete the components required for compliance certification, which include a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) and may include Network Vulnerability Scanning:

What is the PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ)?

The SAQ is a set of required questions that you’ll complete to self-assess your data security posture, to ensure you are processing cards in a secure manner.

What is Network Vulnerability Scanning?

A network vulnerability scan is an automated, non-intrusive scan that assesses your network and web application from the internet. The scan will identify any vulnerabilities or gaps that may allow an unauthorized or malicious user to gain access to your network and potentially compromise cardholder data. (The scan provided by Trustwave will not require you to install any software on your systems.) The scans provided in this upgraded program will run every month.

Get Started

Before you begin, you’ll want to gather your merchant statement, or any other document that includes your Merchant ID (MID). In addition, you may want to have any information on your POS device, software or any other information on the set-up for your payment-processing system. Then visit register.transarmor.com.

PCI Rapid Comply Wizard

You will be presented the option to follow the PCI Rapid Comply wizard or to complete the PCI DSS certification forms. If you are new to the PCI DSS certification process, choose the Step-by-Step wizard. This process will help you through the right Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), without presenting you with complexity that does not apply to your business. Because PCI Rapid Comply customizes your experience, your next steps will be unique to your environment and how you process payments

Completing the questionnaire may take multiple attempts, especially as compliance gaps are found that need to be fixed. Once you have successfully passed each section, you will have a compliant SAQ on file. You can print and access copies of your Certificate of Compliance, completed SAQ and attestation form. At any time during the process, help is available in the portal.

Protect the Success You’ve Worked So Hard For

To Do List

As you use the PCI Rapid Comply^®, anything that needs resolving will be tracked in the To Do List. The To Do List flags the actions you must take to fix weaknesses in your system that are causing risk to your data security. As each item is added to the list, you’ll be able to read more about the risk and how to resolve each issue. Once you complete the items, you can easily check them off and adjust your assessment to be compliant.

Scanning

If you have internet connection for your business that connects to any systems that store, process or submits credit card data, scanning is required for business. PCI Rapid Comply will help you determine if you need scanning. PCI Rapid Comply will take you through a scanning set-up wizard to help you select the right public-facing IPs and website addresses to scan. After each monthly scan is complete, you’ll need to login to view your results. You are required to complete a scan without any detected vulnerabilities to pan the scan. To be compliant, you must pass the scan and have a compliant scan report on file in the PCI Rapid Comply. *Please note, vulnerability scanning is not required of all businesses.
