October 2004 - Inplexus successfully met the September 30, 2004 deadline to bring an industry leading credit card processing company into compliance with the Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) requirements.

Inplexus architected and deployed a fully compliant CIS Level 1 database environment so that credit cardholder information is kept private without negatively impacting business operations and efficiency.

Since June 2001, Visa U.S.A. Inc. has required that a Member comply and ensure its merchants and agents comply with the requirements of the Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP). To broaden adoption and hasten implementation of cardholder information security, Visa has redefined the processes for validating CISP compliance of merchants and third party agents.

Level 1 Service Providers must validate CISP compliance with an annual onsite review, resulting in a Report on Compliance. A Visa-approved, independent security assessor according to the Security Audit Procedures and Reporting document must conduct this review. Additionally, a quarterly system perimeter scan must be performed by a Visa-approved security assessor.

Inplexus completed the CISP compliance process enabling the credit card processing company to submit current compliance documentation to Visa, demonstrating full compliance, by their deadline. Required documentation includes the annual Report on Compliance and quarterly System Perimeter Scan Report. After a Level 1 Service Provider has provided compliance documentation demonstrating full compliance, they will be included on the list of CISP-Compliant Service Providers.
