PCI DSS Credit Card Compliance

Suntrust (reselling UMS/First data) had applied an annual PCI compliance fee to my bill. When I called to ask about it they filled me in on their PCI compliance certification requirement. The compliance certification is now REQUIRED for them, which I suppose is a Master/Visa requirement. The fee covered testing by an online service. I had to fill out a questionnaire and then submit to a port scan until the system passed.

Suntrust charged me $139.75 which covers 4 quarterly compliance certifications. The online company, SecurityMetrics lists the test fee as about $600 if handled individually.

I hope that helps you.

Thanks for the info. I am being told that I have to pay $139.00 a year to make sure my "connections" are secure. I inquired further but realized the person on the other end did not have a clue what they were talking about. Are you saying that RMS already meets this criterea?

Thanks
