Many trade companies don’t realize that even small service providers must meet certain compliance standards, especially if they accept card payments or store customer data. PCI-DSS is the most common requirement for trades, and failure to comply can result in penalties, chargebacks, or loss of the ability to process credit card payments. Additionally, state-level privacy regulations may apply depending on where you operate. HERO provides compliance IT support for trades, ensuring your systems meet all necessary requirements. We deliver audit-ready reports, enforce IT policies like password management and access controls, and continuously monitor systems for suspicious activity. By integrating compliance into your everyday IT processes, HERO eliminates the last-minute scramble that often happens before audits. This helps trades avoid penalties, reduce risks, and build customer confidence by proving that their data is handled with the same care as their home or business.
