ISO MSP and PSP

NOIRE is registered and regulated as an ISP/MSP with the card schemes by leading UK and European FCA regulated partner banks.

Security

CISP compliance (Credit Card Scheme Compliance) is required of all service providers that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. The program applies to all payment channels, including face-to-face retail, mail and telephone order, and e-Commerce (online payments). Compliance with CISP means compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard with the required program validation. The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard offers a single approach to safeguarding sensitive data for all card brands.

All transaction information passed between merchant sites and NOIRE’s systems is encrypted using SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and any messages sent to your servers from NOIRE are signed using hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely assured that nothing you pass to NOIRE servers can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.

Using the PCI Data Security Standard as its framework, CISP provides the tools and measurements needed to protect against cardholder data exposure and compromise. The PCI Data Security Standard consists of twelve basic requirements and corresponding sub-requirements. These can be summarised as follows:

• Building and maintaining secure networks;
• Protecting sensitive data;
• Maintaining a vulnerability program by developing and maintaining secure systems and applications;
• Implementing and managing strong access controls;
• Regular monitoring and testing; and
• Maintaining information security policies.

NOIRE is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant, the highest level of card data security..

Encryption and data storage

Once in our systems, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised encryption standards. Data we hold is extremely secure and we are regularly tested to ensure it remains so.

Reporting a security event

A security event is any attempted or successful unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse of our Account Management System & Payment Gateway, including hacking and theft.

Please immediately report any suspected security events to our Security Officer by emailing the details of the event to [email protected]
