Payment security firm Bluefin will use ZeroRisk software to help its merchants work through card security rules, so business owners may get clearer steps and more help.
Bluefin, a US payment security company, will use software from ZeroRisk to help its business customers handle PCI compliance. That is the set of card security rules merchants must meet. Bluefin says many of its merchants find those rules hard to work through.
ZeroRisk's platform is built to help merchants understand what they must do, find the steps to get there, and get guidance along the way. Bluefin's team will also see each merchant's compliance status and what is still outstanding. That lets staff decide who to follow up with first and offer more targeted help.
Brennan Peterson, SVP of Operations at Bluefin, said the deal allows a more customized process with clearer guidance.
Bluefin says it has more than 300 partners and 40,000 customers, and protects over USD 350 billion in transactions a year. Its tools, including encryption and tokenization, reduce how much payment data a merchant has to protect. Tokenization swaps card details for a stand-in code. ZeroRisk CEO Gary Nolan said its platform covers the compliance tasks that remain.
The material does not say when merchants will see the change, whether it costs extra, or how many will use it. Merchants who work with Bluefin can ask their provider what support is coming.
If you take card payments through Bluefin, expect clearer steps and more follow-up on card security rules, and ask what support is coming.
