Proactive Security Service (PSS)

  • We’ll move you on to this fully managed service if you’re not compliant within 90 days
  • You can choose to opt in to PSS if you feel DSM isn’t right for your business
  • Ideal for businesses with a more complex set-up (e.g. trading in-store and online) and who need guidance with card security

£15 per month + VAT, per outlet2

2The monthly £15 PSS fee + VAT assumes each associated outlet will require only one software deployment – either for a ‘card present’ environment or for ecommerce. If you require both for the same associated outlet, the monthly £15 fee + VAT will be applied for each deployment.
