Security Standards White Papers
Meeting and Exceeding PCI 1.1 Compliance Today
Overview Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diner's Club, Discover, and JCB collaborated to create a new set of standards based on CISP (Cardholder Information Security Policy), and known as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI). All merchants and service providers that handle, transmit, store or process information concerning any of these cards, or related card data, are required to be compliant with PCI or face contract penalties or even termination by the credit card issuers. The primary purpose of this standard is to protect credit card data by reducing fraud and theft. The PCI standard seeks to accomplish this through a "Defense-in-depth" strategy.
