RETAIL Professional is PABP Compliant
RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, OCT 31, 2007 - IT Retail has announced that RETAIL Professional’s payment application has passed all the best practices set forth in Visa’s Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) and is PABP compliant.
The Visa Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) aims to secure Visa cardholder data wherever it resides, requiring that members, merchants, and service providers maintain the highest information security standards. These Payment Application Best Practices (PABP) were created specifically to assist software vendors to create secure payment applications and protect sensitive information from being compromised. Secure payment applications, when implemented in a CISP-compliant environment, will minimize the potential for security breaches leading to compromises of full magnetic stripe data or CVV2 and the potential for damaging fraud resulting from these breaches.
Merchants can visit Visa's online education center at www.visa.com/cisp to learn more about securing customers' payment card data. The site offers a series of webinars and security alerts that will help a merchant better understand the PCI DSS and how to achieve compliance.
“In this day and age, ID theft is a concern to all of us. We were happy to follow Visa to provide a CISP-compliant environment to minimize the potential for security breaches for our customers,” said Terry Ficklin, IT Retail’s Vice President of Product Development.
“Visa U.S.A. is pleased to accept IT Retail, Inc.’s CISP Payment Application Validation based on the assessment and opinion of K3DES. We thank IT Retail for their participation in the CISP Payment Application Best Practices, and for their diligence in applying the best practices to their product and processes”, said Eduardo Perez Vice President, Corporate Risk and Compliance.
