Description of the technical and organisational measures implemented by the data importer(s) (including any relevant certifications) to ensure an appropriate level of security, taking into account the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing, and the risks for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

Visa is certified as compliant with all standards established by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (together with any successor organization thereto, “PCI DSS”) that are applicable to Visa and its affiliates (such standards, the “PCI Standards”).  As evidence of compliance, Customer may access Visa’s current Attestation of Compliance signed by a Payment Card Industry Qualified Security Assessor through Visa Online.

Visa maintains and enforces commercially reasonable information security and physical security policies, procedures and standards, that are designed (i) to insure the security and confidentiality of Customer’s records and information, (ii) to protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records, and (iii) to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information which could result in substantial harm (the “Visa Information Security Program”).  At a minimum, the Visa Information Security Program is designed to meet the standards set forth in ISO 27002 published by the International Organization for Standardization, as well as any revisions, versions or other standards or objectives that supersede or replace the foregoing. 

Visa engages its independent certified public accountants to conduct a review of Visa’s operations and procedures at Visa’s cost.  The accountants conduct the review in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 18 SOC I Type II (“SSAE 18”) and record their findings and recommendations in a report to Visa.  Upon request, and subject to standard confidentiality obligations, Visa will provide its most recent SSAE 18 and, in Visa’s reasonable discretion, additional information reasonably requested to address questions or concerns regarding the SSAE 18’s findings.

For transfers to (sub-) processors, also describe the specific technical and organisational measures to be taken by the (sub-) processor to be able to provide assistance to the controller and, for transfers from a processor to a sub-processor, to the data exporter

In respect of Visa Services: initiatives, products, processes and supporting technology are assessed from a data privacy perspective, allowing Visa to embed privacy controls to mitigate risks at early stages (privacy by design). Visa has a robust privacy risk assessment framework (including privacy impact assessments), embedding this process in our change vehicles across the business, to ensure that both new and changed personal data processing activities are reviewed. Where Customer requires specific assistance, Customer may submit such requests for assistance to the Business Center.
