If Your Web site isn't PCI/CISP Compliant - Your Business Is At Risk!
It's the law - EVERY company that participates in the Free Merchant Accounts chain in any way, is mandated to comply and be certified with strict security standards established by the credit card industry called CISP and PCI?
These standards are endorsed by every single major credit card company as the standard security method when handling credit cards online. Yet MANY online service / business are not yet certified!
If your business OR any of the service providers you use, do not meet these standards, then you could quickly find that you have lost right to accept credit card payments at your web site.
Offering maximum security for your online store
1AutomationWiz.com is happy to announce that we meet or exceed the stringent requirements of Visa’s PCI & CISP programs to ensure maximum security with your sensitive financial data and information.
And while we have been compliant since spring of 2005, we are now one of the very few companies online that is fully certified!
What is PCI?
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard is the result of a Ecommerce Partnership operating in the U.S.
This standard was created to define a series of best practices when processing, transmitting and storing credit card information. PCI compliance is a requirement of CISP.
What is Visa CISP?
Visa’s Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) was created to define a security standard for all merchants that process, transmit and store Visa Cardholder information.
This program is more than simply meeting a one-time compliance standard, there is also an ongoing compliance validation required.
This ongoing validation is designed to identify and correct any potential security vulnerabilities and to ensure the highest levels of security are maintained.

Why does this matter to me, you might ask?
If you are dealing with a company that is not currently complaint, then they are going to have to comply or face being shut down by credit card providers.
Visa/Mastercard is taking action against all non-certified companies in the Free Merchant Accounts chain. If your providers are not certified, your revenues could disappear over night.
So what should you do?
The good news is that if you are a 1AutomationWiz.com customer you don’t have to do anything at all to the shopping cart end of your business.
Fortunately, being a 1AutomationWiz customer means that we make up most of your Free Merchant Accounts chain and there’s little you really need to do because we've done all of the work necessary to ensure that your storefront automatically meets the stringent requirements that have been set out by Visa.
You may however we don't extend that certification to your personal web site. So you will want to ensure that your web site is PCI compliant as well.
The simplest way to do this is to take advantage of the FREE PCI scanning we've arranged for our clients to have, via Trust Guard or Scan Alert.
It is important though to make sure that your entire Credit Card Information handling chain is secure. Therefore, we do recommend contacting your Merchant Account Provider (and/or Hosting Company, Gateway) to ensure they are also PCI/CISP compliant as well.
