It’s important to note that the actual EI3PA certification process is very similar to that of PCI DSS compliance, but with some differences, such as the following: (1). EI3PA is geared towards the protection of Experian-provided data, whereas PCI focuses on cardholder data, and (2). EI3PA approval rests with Experian, unlike PCI DSS, where the major payments brand, the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), and other interested parties that have a voice regarding PCI DSS compliance.
Your 5 Step Process for Experian EI3PA Certification
-
Start with an EI3PA Scoping & Readiness Assessment: Understanding critical scoping issues relating to business processes, types of data to be assessed, gaps that need remediation – and more – is the real benefit of performing a much-needed EI3PA Scoping & Readiness Assessment. Without such an exercise, EI3PA compliance becomes quite challenging. Texas Compliance, LLC’s EI3PA Scoping & Readiness Assessments are offered as part of our all-in-one fixed-fee pricing for EI3PA compliance.
-
Perform Essential Documentation Remediation: One of the most demanding and time-consuming aspects of becoming EI3PA compliant is developing all the required information security policies and procedures. And because EI3PA is essentially a mirror image of the PCI DSS requirements, it means you’ll need to have approximately fifty (50) different policies and procedures in place for the various requirements.
