About CISP
The CISP program was developed to protect Visa's cardholder data, regardless of their location, as well as to ensure that members, merchants, and service providers maintain the highest level of information security. All trade and service enterprises and services that store, process or transmit data on Visa cardholders were required to be compliant with the program. CIS concerned all payment channels, including physical retail trading and e-commerce. Having taken as the basis the PCI DSS standard, CISP offered tools and measures to protect against data breach and compromising payment cards.[1]
