PCI and Visa CISP Compliance: What These Standards Mean to the Independent Grocer and Regional Chain - And How Storenext Helps You Meet Them

Overview To protect cardholders, businesses and the payments card industry itself, regulations have been enacted that mandate changes in the way payment card information is used and handled. In 2001, Visa implemented "CISP" - the Cardholder Information Security Program. CISP provides tools and standards, and "CISP Compliance" is required of all processors and merchants involved in Visa transactions. Meanwhile, Visa and MasterCard collaborated to create the Payment Card Industry ("PCI") Data Security Standard. Visa CISP compliance mandates that merchants meet PCI standards. The PCI Data Security Standards ("DSS") describe how retailers must keep card data and networks (with payments data) secure, how they must maintain a clear security policy, protect cardholder data, implement anti-virus and other security systems, restrict access to this data and track/test their system regularly.
