For Retailers

Successful retailers need to meet their customers where they are. That means enabling fast, smooth, and secure transactions regardless of whether the customer is making a purchase in a store, online, or by phone. In order to provide a unified customer experience, retailers must transmit and transfer sensitive customer data, credit card information, transaction histories, and financial statements among disparate internal departments, including purchasing, inventory, fulfillment, and support – as well as a host of external partners, including banks, merchant services, and payment processors.

Retailers and merchant service providers are under increasing pressure to adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) in an effort to avoid costly fines – and the even more detrimental loss of customer confidence that results from data leakage or data breaches. PCI DSS compliance requires organizations to protect the security, privacy, and confidentiality of cardholder information – and to document who accesses the information and the security measures taken to prevent theft, loss, or accidental disclosure.

While the mandate for compliance is clear, it’s a challenge for most retailers to balance the need to secure cardholder information with the need to ensure that employees and partners can still conduct day-to-day business without disruption. Ipswitch’s secure end-to-end file transfer solution enables merchants, payment processors, and payment card issuers to meet PCI compliance objectives and still have ready access to necessary payment card information.
