| If a portion
of your business involves the acceptance
of customer credit cards over the Internet
(E-Commerce), all merchants that accept
Visa branded cards are required to comply
with Visa's Card Holder Information Security
Program. MasterCard has a similar program,
SDP for Internet merchants, which allows
merchants to be eligible for security software
discounts. As indicated on the respective
association's websites, the fines for failure
to comply can be substantial. If your
business participates in E-Commerce, it
is crucial that you contact our office for
specific solutions regarding compliance.
