Monday 31 March 2008 14:59 CET | News

Provider of customer contact services Weste Telemarketing has proven annual compliance with Visa USAs cardholder information security program (CISP) and the payment card industry data security standard (PCI-DSS) program.

The CISP and the PCI-DSS standards establish a set of 12 industry-wide requirements designed to protect sensitive information from being comprised. In 2004, the CISP requirements were incorporated into the PCI-DSS standard, thanks to a cooperation between Visa and MasterCard that intended to create common industry security requirements. CISP compliance is required of all merchants and service that store, process, or transmit Visa cardholder data. The standard applies to all payment channels, including retail (brick-and-mortar), mail/telephone order, and e-commerce. Compliance with CISP means compliance with the PCI-DSS standard with the required program validation.
