Sanderson champions PCI compliancy

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) are a critical business issue for all card accepting merchants. Sanderson is pleased to announce that more and more organisations are using the Elucid multi-channel sales solution to help ensure their businesses are PCI compliant.

Healthspan, the UK's leading home shopping supplier of vitamins, minerals and supplements, are the latest Sanderson customer to benefit from the Card Payment Module. These companies are able to securely process all electronic payments for multiple sales channels, including web, mail order, telesales and retail.

Sanderson has worked with partners Commidea and CyberSource to help ensure its Elucid users can become PCI compliant. This ensures businesses are able to avoid the risk of penalties such as fines or trading restrictions, which can be applied by the major card providers where a breach of the standards occurs. Such punishments can clearly affect the ability of a company to do business, having a major impact on income, cash-flow and customer service - therefore making compliance imperative.

Guarding against fraud also helps protect the brand from the risks associated with a security breach. In an age of consumer choice, brand loyalty is low and many businesses do not survive bad press - so protecting a business from credit card fraud is also protecting the brand from the detrimental effects of bad publicity.

Ian Newcombe, Managing Director of Sanderson Multi-Channel Solutions commented on Healthspan’s decision to invest in the Sanderson module:

“We’re delighted Healthspan have joined the growing list of companies who have opted to use the Sanderson Card Payment Module. The module is supported by the expertise of both ourselves and our business partners, Commidea and CyberSource, providing piece of mind for Healthspan and their customers.”
