Superior Customer Service

The hidden value of ESP lies in our highly specialized customer service staff. Our customer service representatives are extensively trained to deal with high-maintenance subscribers. Our CSR’s have vast experience in providing meaningful one-on-one service to the customer. Almost all of our clients offer some sort of digital version, and our CSR’s are adept at walking customers through the login process and otherwise assisting customers having trouble with access. Customer service inquiries received via email from subscribers are checked and responded to throughout the day. Orders are checked for existing subscriptions as they are entered into the system and while the subscriber is still on the phone so duplicates are kept to a minimum.

Security

Audit

Internal and Independent Auditing

ESP works continuously to ensure that all financial and information controls are in place for the safekeeping of your data and business transactions. To do so requires a comprehensive program to audit our operations and systems, networks, credit card transactions and other financial controls.

The ESP SSAE18 SOC audit (Service Organization Control audit) entails hundreds of hours of internal review by ESP personnel as well as validation by independent external and internal auditors. ESP documents financial and IT controls, and tests selected controls, identified as significant or material to operations, to ensure they work properly. An independent auditor validates the reported results, completing an independent verification of the controls through testing and reports on any weaknesses.

PCI Compliance

PCI Compliance

ESP is compliant with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) scan requirement. PCI Compliance is meant to insure that proper security is maintained over cardholder data. The audit conforms to the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards. Audits are in place to ensure the safety of our clients’ data as well as to ensure the fiscal and technological responsibility of the company. ESP evaluates on an ongoing basis additional security software and hardware appliances, and polices, procedures and practices for deployment that will complement our security measures currently in place.
