Thanks for reaching out to the Community, @Santa1.
We can't confirm whether the email you received is actually from SecurityMetrics. What we can say is that Intuit has partnered with SecurityMetrics to meet Payment Card Industry (PCI) requirements.
If you accept credit or debit card payments, you'll need to be PCI compliant to keep your customers' payment information secure. Noncompliance with PCI can result in fines and increased security risks.
If you've already obtained PCI compliance, you're in good shape for now. However, keep in mind that PCI compliance is an ongoing process. Certifications must be renewed annually, and you should regularly ensure that your systems and processes continue to meet PCI requirements.
Please note that Intuit and its products are listed as PCI-compliant through its partnership with SecurityMetrics. That said, you're free to explore third-party services other than SecurityMetrics for assistance with PCI compliance if you prefer.

If you choose SecurityMetrics and need further assistance with PCI, contact SecurityMetrics support at https://www.securitymetrics.com/contact.
