Datatel and SecuredNet Enhance PCI Compliance Solutions for Ontario Healthcare Providers

Datatel, a leader in secure payment solutions, and SecuredNet, a premier PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) company, have launched an offering to support Ontario Healthcare Providers in navigating the complexities of Payment Card Industry Compliance (PCI DSS compliance). By tailoring their industry-leading PCI Scope Wizard and PCI Navigator services to the specific needs  of the healthcare sector, Datatel and SecuredNet are ensuring that hospitals, healthcare networks, and long-term care providers can achieve PCI compliance efficiently, securely, and with minimal disruption to patient care.

As credit card payment acceptance in healthcare continue to rise—such as online bill payments, over-the-phone transactions, and patient portals—so too does the challenge of ensuring PCI compliance while maintaining security and operational efficiency. Datatel and SecuredNet’s Healthcare-focused PCI compliance services are designed to help healthcare organizations to:

• Accurately determine their PCI scope and understand their compliance obligations.
• Reduce their PCI Scope: Becoming more efficient about who, how and what is interacting with patient credit card information.
• Streamline Self-Assessment Questionnaire(s) selection and completion with expert-backed guidance.
• Reduce the burden on internal teams, allowing them to focus on patient care rather than complex compliance tasks.

Tailored PCI Compliance for Ontario’s Healthcare Industry

Datatel PCI Scope Wizard is a one-of-a-kind tool  that is optimized for healthcare providers, quickly mapping out their PCI Scope, identifying the people, systems and processes that touch credit card information, and simplifying the first step in compliance by providing:

• Clarity on PCI Scope – Identifies the people, systems and processes that are involved in the acceptance and processing of credit cards.
• Simplified SAQ Selection – Eliminates confusion by guiding users to the correct Self-Assessment Questionnaire(s) (SAQ)based on their specific payment environment.
• Time-Saving – Reduces the research and effort required for compliance, allowing IT and finance teams to focus on higher-priority tasks.
• Risk Mitigation – Helps organizations proactively address security gaps, reducing the risk of non-compliance penalties and data breaches.

PCI Navigator, Datatel and SecuredNet’s packaged compliance acceleration solution, has been tailored to help Ontario healthcare organizations meet evolving payment security requirements and streamline their path to compliance. By leveraging Datatel and SecuredNet’s deep industry expertise, healthcare providers can minimize risk while ensuring they meet PCI DSS and broader privacy and security requirements.

“Healthcare organizations in Ontario face distinct challenges when it comes to PCI compliance—from patient payment portals to handling sensitive financial data within highly regulated environments,” said Barnard Crespi, Co-CEO at Datatel. “We’ve tailored our PCI compliance solutions to these realities, providing a clear, step-by-step approach that simplifies the process and reduces risk.”

“By focusing on Ontario’s healthcare sector, we are helping organizations eliminate compliance uncertainties while enhancing payment security,” added Steve Porter, President at SecuredNet. “With our combined expertise, Healthcare Providers can feel confident that they’re not only meeting PCI DSS requirements but also strengthening their overall security posture.”
