What is the Visa Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP)?
Due to increasing amounts of credit card theft, identity theft, etc. the credit card industry has put together a security standard designed to protect sensitive cardholder information, such as name, address, and credit card number. Visa CISP compliance is required of all merchants and service providers that store, process, or transmit Visa cardholder data. The program applies to all payment channels, including retail (brick-and-mortar), mail/telephone order, and e-commerce. To achieve compliance with CISP, merchants and service providers must adhere to the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, which offers a single approach to safeguarding sensitive data for all card brands.
