Will you please provide your recommendations for GRC and employee cybersecurity training vendors/services? We don't have a GRC tool yet.

Does anyone know if there is a comprehensive standardized list of risk factors?

Dylan, Thank you for such a helpful and thorough response! I communicated with a Shopify rep yesterday, and I can confirm some of what you've said. Here's what I found out: The Tap & Chip Reader (model S1801) is a PCI PTS-approved device (approval no. 4-30353). The device does not accept ...

Thank you to everyone for your valuable input. Once clarification about the SAQ B-IP: I didn't think this would apply since it applies to PTS-approved payment terminals.

The part I'm still hung up on is defining the scope and boundaries. What is included and what isn't? I read carefully through the 314 document and the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 1843(k)(4). The only applicable financial services I can identify are loans and insurance. But when I look at other ...
