Cardholder_Information_Security_Program
The Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) was a program established by Visa USA in 2001 to ensure the security of cardholder information as it is being processed and stored by merchants and service providers. [citation needed]
As of 2004, CISP has been superseded by the PCI Data Security Standard, a multi-vendor initiative to tackle Payment Card Industry security issues. [citation needed]
