"Visa Announces New Payment Application Security Mandates, October 23, 2007. Beginning January 1, 2008, Visa will implement a series of mandates to eliminate the use of non-secure payment applications f rom the Visa payment system. These mandates require acquirers to ensure their merchants and agents do not use payment applications known to retain prohibited data elements and require the use of payment applications that adhere to Visa's Payment Application Best Practices (PABP). PABP-compliant applications help merchants and agents mitigate compromises, prevent storage of prohibited data and support overall compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and the Visa U.S.A. Inc. Operating Regulations"
