Irvine, CA – of Irvine has partnered with a leading data security company to provide their merchants with mandatory Data Breach Reporting assistance in instances where a data breach has occurred.
The comprehensive Customer Data Watch program answers the critical business need for swift and thorough response to data loss, which can often result in customer identity theft. When a breach occurs, Data Watch is available 24 hours to assist in initiating the reporting process.
A data breach must be reported to a variety of Federal, State and Regulatory agencies, as well as all credit card brands. The Customer Data Watch team provides a point-of-contact to work with merchants to compile all key points of information and initiate mandatory reporting required on their behalf.
“Well-publicised data theft incidents have involved some of America’s largest companies, while smaller companies are actually at greater risk because of limited security resources and less secure systems. In instances where a breach has occurred, businesses are required by state and federal laws to notify key agencies – often within 72 hours of discovering the breach – to initiate plans to protect the compromised customers,” noted Eric Madura, Client Services Manager with Merchant Services.
“Proper reporting is critical in the event of an actual or even a suspected breach of card holder data, but the process can be difficult and confusing. This is why we are thrilled to offer our merchants Customer Data Watch, giving them the necessary tools, resources and guidance to make the process as quick and simple as possible and saving them time and money along the way and ensuring that steps are immediately taken to protect their customers,” shared Robert Parisi, Senior Vice President of Merchant Services.
