Case Study: Chesapeake Bank Achieves Mid-90s Merchant PCI Compliance with ControlScan

How ControlScan and Chesapeake Payment Systems Collaborated to Achieve a Mid-90s Portfolio Compliance Rate

Chesapeake Bank’s merchant services division, Chesapeake Payment Systems, needed a better way to engage merchants in payment security and PCI compliance while reducing portfolio risk. To support that goal, Chesapeake partnered with ControlScan and used its PCI compliance program, including the SecureEdge platform and PaySafe UTM Firewall, to help merchants stay protected and compliant.

With ControlScan’s automated vulnerability scans, monthly validation reporting, streamlined SAQ process, and PCI-compliant firewall, Chesapeake was able to manage compliance more proactively across its merchant base. The result was a jump in portfolio PCI compliance from the 60s to the mid-90s, along with lower merchant attrition and stronger customer satisfaction.
