Case Study: Learning Express Toys achieves stronger PCI compliance with ControlScan

Learning Express Helps Its Franchisees Brace for Hackers with ControlScan PCI Compliance Program

Learning Express Toys, the nation’s leading franchisor of educational toy stores, needed a better way to help more than 150 franchisees manage PCI compliance and security. As hackers and identity thieves became a bigger concern, the company looked for a preferred partner to support small merchants that often lacked the time and technical expertise to complete PCI DSS requirements on their own. ControlScan and its PCI 1-2-3 program were identified as a strong fit.

ControlScan provided a “one-stop shop” for PCI compliance through its PCI 1-2-3 portal, including self-assessment questionnaires, scanning, policy building, security awareness training, and breach protection. Learning Express also supported the rollout with education, webinars, manuals, and conference calls. The result was higher PCI compliance among franchisees and less burden on store owners, allowing them to stay focused on day-to-day business while improving card data security.
