Merchant Levels Level / Tier Merchant Criteria 1 Merchants processing over 6 million Visa transactions annually (all channels) or Global merchants identified as Level 1 by any Visa region 2 Merchants processing 1 million to 6 million Visa transactions annually (all channels) 3 Merchants processing 20,000 to 1 million Visa e- commerce transactions annually 4 Merchants processing less than 20,000 Visa e- commerce transactions annually and all other merchants processing up to 1 million Visa transactions annually ControlScan, Inc. 2010 Proprietary and Confidential

The Consequences A Level 4 Data Breach typically has a significant financial and operational impact on a small merchant. In some cases, it could shut down a small business. Costs may include: Forensics audit costs: $8,000 to $20,000 Card replacement costs: generally between $3 and $10 per card Brand damage: Hard to quantify but at the end of the day, this could be the most damaging consequence to a business Compliance fines: Currently range from $5,000 to $250,000 depending on the size of the breach and the nature of the offense that led to the compromise ControlScan, Inc. 2010 Proprietary and Confidential

Common Merchant Objections Can I switch to a new processor who doesn t require compliance? All Acquirers are responsible for ensuring that all of their merchants comply with the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) requirements; therefore, all processors are required by the card brands to implement a PCI compliance program. What happens if I do not comply? Merchants that do not comply with PCI DSS may be subject to fines, card replacement costs, costly forensic audits, brand damage, etc., should a breach event occur. Many acquiring banks are issuing fines for merchants who do not comply with PCI. For a little upfront effort and cost to comply with PCI, you greatly help reduce your risk of facing these extremely unpleasant and costly consequences. Why haven t I heard anything from the card brands regarding PCI compliance? The individual card brands are requiring that the Merchant Banks/Processors implement individual PCI compliance programs to educate merchants on compliance and ensure that they meet PCI compliance requirements. They require that all Merchant Banks/Processors have a plan in place to ensure their merchants obtain and maintain compliance with the standard. Most of the breaches you hear of in the news are large retailers, but many people do not realize that over 80% of compromises occur at small merchant locations.
