Meet Your EI3PA Audit Deadline, The First Time.

Similar to PCI DSS audits, the Experian Independent Third Party Assessment (EI3PA Assessment) follows 12 requirements that help organizations determine whether they appropriately safeguard credit history data. SecurityMetrics helps organizations that handle any credit history data received from the credit bureau Experian to comply with EI3PA audit requirements.

The EI3PA standard is based on Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requirements. SecurityMetrics Qualified Security Assessors (QSA) guide you through the assessment and various requirements providing best practice methodologies and time-saving advice along the way.

PATHWAY TO EI3PA COMPLIANCE

Pre Onsite Gap Analysis

Before our audit team meets you and your staff in person, they conduct a remote gap analysis to help you prepare appropriate documentation on processes, training, data flows, etc. and help discover any major issues that would prevent you from a passing EI3PA assessment.

Onsite Assessment

The EI3PA Assessment is based on compliance standards found in the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). SecurityMetrics is industry leading in its audit process and methodology. The team is never overbooked and makes sure they can provide you with the appropriate attention your specific situation needs. SecurityMetrics Experian Independent Third Party Assessments help you:

  • Secure credit history data
  • Reach compliance goals to avoid fines
  • Build long-lasting security policies and practices
  • Manage and track compliance efforts throughout the year
  • Reduce overall compliance costs through pre audit preparation activities

Audit Remediation

After the initial onsite audit, SecurityMetrics QSAs make themselves available to help advise on best practices to recover from discovered vulnerabilities in your data security program. They also help advise on policies and procedures that will help bring you into compliance with the standard.

EI3PA Compliance Report

After all remediation items have been resolved and proof has been provided, SecurityMetrics Audit team creates a compliance report that’s ready to be submitted to Experian. The team also makes themselves available to clarify any requested items or further documentation upon report submission.
