Kagi Announces PCI/Visa CISP Compliance

Kagi is very pleased to announce PCI/Visa CISP compliance. Compliance to this standard means your credit card data is safe with Kagi

What is PCI compliance?

Also known as Visa CISP compliance, PCI is the Payment Card Industry Security Standard. It was created in collaboration between VISA and MasterCard. This standard is enforced through a program called the Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP). This mandated program ensures that the highest standards of care are used to protect cardholder data and keep it safe from misuse and identity theft.

This program, with which Kagi complies, consists of 6 major parts:

1. Securing networks by:
   • Maintaining and installing firewalls to protect data
   • Avoiding the use of vendor supplied defaults for passwords or other security parameters
2. Protecting Cardholder Data by:
   • Providing protection for stored cardholder data
   • Encrypting cardholder data that is transmitted over networks
3. Maintaining a program to limit vulnerabilities including:
   • Up-to-date antivirus software
   • Securely developed and maintained systems and applications
4. Implementing strong controls for cardholder information access:
   • Restricted access to data on a need-to-know basis
   • Providing unique ID's to each person with computer access
   • Restricted physical access to cardholder data
5. Regular monitoring and testing of networks
   • Tracking and monitoring of all access to networks and cardholder data
   • Regular testing of security systems
6. Maintaining an information security policy
