   Here's an article about e-commerce sites having to comply with a
standard from the Payment Card Industry:

   From Visa's web site, the compliance depends on "merchant level".
See

   The "12 requirements" standard is available at

Our Loans Receivables group called a couple of days ago to alert me
to an audit requirement that has been imposed by Visa(Net), for whom
we are a "merchant."   The process involves a self-assessment,
together with a "Quarterly Network Security Scan" that must be
conducted by a Visa-certified third party.

Have any of you received the same notification? And how did you deal
with what we are told is a June 30 compliance date?

Regards, and thanks in advance.
