NorthPoint offers a merchant data protection platform specifically built for small businesses. It provides small businesses with identity protection delivered in a unified solution where vulnerabilities often overlap and data misuse can disrupt operations.
This platform was designed in alignment with Mastercard's Compliance Validation Exemption Program (C-VEP), an initiative designed to ease the annual PCI DSS validation burden for qualified Level 3 & 4 merchants. While C-VEP does not remove the obligation to comply with PCI DSS, it exempts eligible merchants from the annual validation process when they adopt approved security technologies and enroll in designated programs like NorthPoint. This allows merchants to strengthen their security posture while reducing complexity and staying focused on growth.
Leveraging a best in class technology provider the NorthPoint program helps detect and stop threats before they cause damage. It monitors key business information—such as website domains, EINs, and business credit files and sends alerts when it spots unauthorized changes or suspicious activity. The program also includes personal identity monitoring to protect business owners from identity-related threats. These features are especially important for Level 4 merchants, where business and personal identities often overlap and assist small businesses in helping protect credit access, maintain vendor relationships, and safeguard the company's reputation.
