Payment security with Heartland Secure™

Help prevent fraud with secure payment technology

With card fraud on the rise, protecting your business, reputation and customers is one of the best decisions you can make. A key component of this is complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

At Heartland, we make it easy for you to safeguard your business against the costly effects of fraud and a data breach through Heartland Secure — our program that combines three powerful technologies designed to help you more confidently accept payments while putting your customers at ease. Heartland Secure layers three crucial technologies to help you achieve PCI Compliance.

Heartland Secure provides

• EMV chip card technology that authenticates a consumer’s card;
• Heartland’s end-to-end encryption technology, which immediately encrypts credit and debit card data as it is captured; and
• Tokenization technology, which replaces card data with “tokens” and removes the credit card information from the equation, keeping it hidden from thieves.

Additional benefits include

• No quarterly PCI scan required: Keep your business running smoothly with fewer interruptions. Heartland’s devices employ end-to-end encryption, which eliminates the need for quarterly PCI scans.
• Shorter Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ): No more lengthy SAQs with 200+ questions — our SAQ has fewer than 30 questions, so you can spend more time on your core business operations.

Best of all, as a Heartland merchant, you are automatically enrolled in our Heartland Secure Breach Warranty* program, designed to help offset any costs associated with a data breach.
