June 4, 2003: Strategic Profits Inc. Achieves Compliance with Visa Canada's AIS (Account Information Security) Program

Strategic Profits Inc is proud that it has met and exceeded the standards set out by the Visa AIS(Account Information Security) Program. We are one of only two companies in the world to become certified through the AIS program during the first audit with no remediation required.

"STRATEGIC PROFITS INC was an excellent example of how security should be managed and implemented within any size of organization. SPI 's senior management takes security very seriously and regards it as their business, which gives top down support to staff members resulting in security filtering through out the organization. This showed up in nearly every aspect of the AIS security audit in all administrative and technical functions.

All procedures, policies and guidelines were present as per the AIS requirements. The open source technical implementation was outstanding giving a very high level of security to all preventive, detective and corrective controls. This gave the transaction data a high level of protection involving multiple layers of well-implemented and maintained security controls.

I have no hesitation in passing STRATEGIC PROFITS INC. on all of the AIS Principles."
David Handford, Senior Technical Specialist, OAO Tehcnology Solutions.

The AIS program is designed to enhance protection of sensitive account and transaction information in the Visa acceptance environment. It protects the interests of all payment participants, including Members, merchants and cardholders-in both the physical and virtual world.

AIS standards outline the organizational, physical, and logical controls required for maintaining the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of sensitive account and transaction information. Specifically, AIS standards define the minimum security controls required to participate in the Visa acceptance environment. For more information see "Security" on this site or go to: https://www.visa.com/_gds_mod/fb/merchants/gds/main.html.

If Visa determines that an acceptance location is not in compliance with the standards, and is not adequately protecting sensitive account and transaction data it reserves the right to impose penalties up to and including the right to terminate merchant acceptance privileges.
