What is an MNSP?  MNSP increases store security, while meeting PCI requirements.  The move to MNSP was dictated by the credit card brands.

What MNSP is not.  MNSP is not the same as PCI compliance.  The only association to PCI compliance is that MNSP increases store security through segmentation of the credit card environment.  Do not contact your MNSP for assistance in completing your SAQ and quarterly scans.  MNSP is not a Heartland program.

When to call:

1)  For technical support or to report an issue

2)  Questions regarding your MNSP’s configuration
