misunderstanding of scanning fees for Level 4 PCI compliance. They are much lower than many merchants think.

Hi,

For some reason many of you believe the scanning fees would be $160.00 per quarter. Many of you have told me that and I’m not sure where that came from. The fees are much, much less with our company of choice ControlScan https://www.controlscan.com/index.php sponsors of this year’s NATB show http://www.natb.org/convention/sponsors.cfm

Their typical charge for a Level 4 merchant which most of you are is only $149.00 per year. This actually includes weekly scanning and quarterly reports, it is impossible to provide a compliant quarterly scan report with only 1 scan per quarter. Also included in this service is the Self Assessment Questionnaire (has to be submitted yearly for compliance) and our Breach Protection. You can pay monthly if they like. The cost is $149/year or $15/month, so you save a bit of money if you purchase an annual membership. As I have mentioned before I receive no commissions or referral fees from them in order to keep the cost down top my merchants.
For this price there is absolutely no reason that any of you using an IP connection to enter cc orders shouldn’t be compliant. Call Andrea Butler at (800) 825-3301 or email Andrea Butler < abutler@controlscan.com>

Cheers!

Bill
