For almost fifteen years, Volusion has maintained compliance with the Payment Card Industry’s Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This standard started through extensive cooperation by the card brands (Visa, MasterCard, etc.) to ensure that businesses who process card data do so securely. Version 1.0 of the standard was released in 2004 and Volusion led the way to quickly integrate its requirements into business practices. In early 2006, Volusion completed its first audit and has remained compliant ever since. Categorized as a Level 1 Service Provider, Voluison is held to the strictest level of compliance to the PCI DSS.
