Here is one of their "waste of time emails". I've heard it before. It's not VISA or MC checking the sites, that would be different. No way would they check that many times a month! Again, waste of time!

Hello Ed,
As you may know, the card associations (like Visa and MasterCard) hire independent professional services to check the content of all sites that process transactions, for potential violations of their rules. Therefore in order to keep you safe, Epoch regularly checks your sites too, to make sure there's nothing irregular that might jeopardize your ability to continue processing transactions.
Even if your sites no longer get updated, your sites will still need to be reviewed. Although not mandatory, we do suggest that you provide us a compliance login that remains active for our periodic reviews.
Your sales representative is Henry Rosa (

Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Alan
Epoch Support
