Your Online Sales Can Be SHUT DOWN If Your Provider Doesn’t Meet New Credit Card Industry Requirements

If your shopping cart solution doesn’t meet the new and very strict credit card industry regulations for online safety and security then your ability to sell online could be shut down in the near future. Luckily, the clients of 1ShoppingCart and its Private Label Network are in good hands…

Your customers want their credit card information safe and secure; they want to feel confident that when giving you their credit card at the point of sale, over the internet or on the telephone.

The protection of personal and financial data during the transaction process is critically important to your consumers and therefore to your business success.

This is why Visa USA created a private standard known as CISP, or the Cardholder Information Security Program. More recently, VISA and American Express, Diner's Club, Discover Card, JCB and MasterCard collaborated to create a new set of standards known as the PCI (Payment Card Industry) Data Security Standard.

(For complete details visit:

The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard outlines best practices for securing credit card data that is stored, processed or transmitted. All Merchants and Service Providers that handle, transmit, store or process information concerning any of these cards will soon be required to be compliant and certified.

1ShoppingCart Awarded PCI Data Security Standard Certification

1ShoppingCart.com is proud to announce that on January 12, 2006 we completed our PCI Security Standard Audit, received our PCI Data Security Standard Compliance and our PCI Security Standard Certification is pending a final review by VISA. This was after a rigorous review by VISA, the submission of all required documentation and passing all the necessary audits.

Over the past sixteen (16) months 1ShoppingCart.com has been researching, designing and implementing changes to our management processes, software applications and IT infrastructure (Servers, Storage, Network) to prepare. We specifically focused on exceeding the CISP/PCI security standards, compliance and certification. This included retaining the services of an industry leading third party Certificated Audit organization, specializing in CISP/PCI security compliance and certification to assist us in the process.
