PCI and Visa CISP Compliance: What These Standards Mean to the Independent Grocer and Regional Chain - And How Storenext Helps You Meet Them | 2007-07-01 | StoreNext |
| 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.

It's a problem that affects everyone in the retail supply chain - the payment card companies, the banks, the retailers, and the individual customers whose identities are compromised. And while there are many ways to implement network protection, some retailers have delayed updating databases and networks with the latest authentication and encryption safeguards. Meanwhile, electronic thieves have been proactive in finding and attacking vulnerable networks.

PCI Data Security Standard | 2007-06-26 | Imprivata |
| There has been an explosion in the use of Internet-based commerce, as well as a drastic increase in credit and debit card usage in the physical storefront. Despite the best efforts of organizations to protect customer data, consumer fraud and identity theft have hit new highs. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the number of identity thefts and fraudulent credit card charges reached over four million in the U.S. in 2006. In response to this increased threat, governments around the world have been considering an array of new laws and regulations to systematically combat the problem. In addition, the banking and credit card industry have spearheaded their own initiatives, including the newly revised Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS).

Challenges and Opportunities of PCI | 2007-06-22 | Tripwire |
| The control framework implicit in the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) provides an enterprise structure for improving operational, security, and audit performance.

As a security model, PCI requirements can help companies control compliance costs and build a more efficient and reliable IT infrastructure that delivers better service while incurring less risk. Alignment of business and PCI goals ensures that internal security standards remain consistent with PCI requirements and that security policies remain relevant and enforced.

Regulating the Payment Card Industry | 2007-05-22 | Suomen Pankki |
| The payment card industry is subject to substantive regulatory pressure. Both the fees, especially the interchange fees, and the scheme rules have been scrutinized and in many jurisdictions also regulated. Taking this interest of authorities at its face value suggests that the payment card market is not functioning according to the best interests of at least some its participants. Especially merchants have complained about the high fees charged from them when accepting card payments. These complaints explain in part why most past and current propositions for regulation have targeted the relationship between the merchant and the payment card industry. | |||
