Money20/20 2014

LAS VEGAS--()--ControlScan, a leading provider of security and compliance solutions for small and mid-sized businesses, is announcing the launch of an all-new educational website. The site, SMBSecurityGuide.org, serves as a primary point of reference for SMBs that are seeking information and best practices to secure the sensitive customer data they handle.

SMB Security Guide joins PCI Compliance Guide (PCIComplianceGuide.org) to create an “arsenal” of ControlScan web properties that educate SMBs on unified security and compliance for data breach prevention. PCI Compliance Guide, which averages nearly 2,000 daily visits, gives SMBs important information and action steps for complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

“We’re excited to introduce SMB Security Guide at the Money20/20 event,” said Joan Herbig, CEO, ControlScan. “The payments industry has a lot at stake when it comes to SMB security—and it’s not all related to PCI. SMB Security Guide picks up where PCI Compliance Guide leaves off, so that SMBs see the big picture of how secure technologies and processes contribute to their business success.”

A deep commitment to educating and protecting SMBs has established ControlScan as the go-to partner for more than 135 ISOs and acquirers representing over 2 million merchants. These merchant service providers rely on ControlScan to provide the insights, technologies and services that expose hidden risk while reducing complexity and stimulating secure behavior among the merchants they serve.

“Our company is taking its thought leadership role beyond the payments space to encompass general information security and data privacy best practices,” Herbig said. “We are conversing and uniting with security and compliance organizations around the globe so that our SMB customers and industry colleagues can stay one step ahead of the cyber criminal.”

ControlScan will showcase the new SMBSecurityGuide.org tonight in its Money20/20 Suite at the Aria Resort and Casino.
