Toronto, Canada (PRUnderground) March 17th, 2025
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:

- Simplified SAQ Selection – Eliminates confusion by guiding users to the correct Self-Assessment Questionnaire(s) (SAQ)based on their specific payment environment.
