Your customers want
assurance that their credit card account information is safe. But
offering your customers a safe and secure way to pay is more than just
a good business practice it's a requirement. Every merchant who
touches credit card account information is responsible for
safeguarding that information and can be held liable for security
compromises if they have not taken the required precautions.
Visa and MasterCard
have aligned the compliance levels and validation requirements of
their cardholder data security programs (CISP and SDP), creating the
Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.
