Comodo is Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council certified and an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV), uniquely positioned to help merchants attain PCI compliance.

"At Comodo, we do a lot of business with merchants to encrypt their online transactions with our highly secure and robust technology – so we understand how merchants operate and their pain points when it comes to PCI compliance," said Robert Gersten, Principal Director, ISOs and Acquirers, Comodo. "Merchants, acquirers, ISOs are all looking for an affordable solution provider, dedicated service and a security brand they can truly trust. Our Painless PCI Program packages all of that value, passes it to the partners, who in turn retain more satisfied merchants, which is a win-win for all."

How the Painless PCI Partner Program Works
Painless PCI includes a web-based registration with simple step-by-step merchant guidance for completing the PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), which is critical for achieving compliance. The partner program includes free access to the newly launched PCI Control Center, which lets partners keep track of their merchant's compliance activities through a PCI management portal. The portal automatically displays SAQs and PCI vulnerability scan results in an easy-to-use dashboard.

The program also allows Comodo partners to outsource PCI compliance to a trusted third party saving time and money in addition to generous revenue sharing opportunities. Merchants will receive free live support, while partners will enjoy zero costs to join and access to discounts on the expansive Comodo security portfolio.
