CISP Compliance

Network Solutions achieved CISP compliance in the fall of 2005. The Network Solutions storefront system is a CISP Certified Shopping Cart and also PCI compliant.

As Visa and MasterCard attempt to combat increases in credit card fraud, banks and merchants face possible penalties for non-compliance with payment card industry security standards. Network Solutions provides secure and CISP certified shopping carts and merchant accounts for businesses of all sizes.

What is Visa CISP?

Visa's Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) is designed to ensure that all merchants and that store, process, or transmit Visa cardholder data, protect it properly. To achieve CISP compliance, merchants and service providers must adhere to the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.

What is PCI?

The PCI Standard is the result of collaboration between the four major credit card brands to develop a single approach to safeguarding sensitive data. The PCI standard defines a series of best practices for handling, transmitting and storing sensitive data.

How do you become CISP Compliant?

Every party or software that participates in the credit card processing chain must be CISP certified to meeting compliance requirements. For ecommerce merchants, the processing chain typically includes the Storefront System, which collects the credit card data from the customer, the Payment Gateway and Merchant Account, which process the credit card, and the hosting or data center infrastructure on which the online store and gateway reside.

Network Solutions offers merchants CISP compliant elements to link the processing chain from start to finish.
