The rising incidence of stolen
cardholder account data is a major concern for all
participants in the payment industry. As a result of these
thefts, merchants and financial institutions suffer fraud
losses and unanticipated operational expenses, and consumers
are inconvenienced significantly.
To protect your business, your customers, and the integrity
of the payment system, MasterCard has in place a set of
requirements governing the safekeeping of account
information. These requirements affect the storage of
cardholder information, reporting a security incident, and
more. To read a summary of these requirements, download the
merchant requirements for securing cardholder information

payment systems compliance in the payment processing
industry. The levels of compliance SecureNet has achieved is

PCIP Compliance -
PCIP Compliance is
MasterCard's standard for Security and Compliance. The
MasterCard SDP program is designed to help members,
merchants and Service Providers - Third Party Processors (TPPs)
and Data Storage Entities (DSEs) - proactively protect
themselves and the overall payment system against the threat
of compromises. The SDP Program seeks to accomplish this by
identifying vulnerabilities in security processes,
procedures and Web site configurations. A key focus of the
SDP Program is to ensure that Merchants and Service
Providers are securely storing MasterCard account data in
accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard (PCI Data Security Standard).

CISP Compliance - When customers offer
their bankcard at the point of sale, over the Internet, on
the phone, or through the mail, they want assurance that
their account information is safe. That’s why Visa USA has
instituted the Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP).
Mandated since June 2001, CISP is intended to protect Visa
cardholder data–wherever it resides–ensuring that members,
merchants, and service providers maintain the highest
information security standard.
In 2004, the CISP requirements were incorporated into an
industry standard known as Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data
Security Standard resulting from a collaboration between
Visa and MasterCard to create common industry security
requirements. Visa USA maintains CISP as the managing
program for data security compliance endorsing the PCI Data
Security Standard.
