PCI Level 1 Compliance   Operating at the highest level and meeting the most demanding security requirements.   In a card industry network comprised of millions of merchants, Vanco Services is proud to be one of fewer than 400 companies that is designated as a PCI (Payment Card Industry) Level 1 Compliant Service Provider. While these security standards were developed for the payment card industry, Vanco has implemented them across its entire e.service® line of electronic payment solutions. Vanco Services designation as a PCI Level 1 Compliant Service Provider means that customer transaction data is managed under the highest security standards.

Companies are divided into four categories based upon transaction volume. Level 1, the highest level, is comprised of those companies with the very highest transaction volumes. The designation "Level 1 Compliant" is reserved for large volume organizations like Vanco that pass rigorous independent on-site audits annually in addition to other critical assessments. These security standards were developed by the founding payment brands of the PCI Security Standards Council, including American Express, Discover Financial services, JCB, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa International to help facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security measures on a global basis. PCI compliance is a comprehensive standard intended to help organizations proactively protect customer account data.
