(O) promptly notify its primary SVM business contact of any complaint or inquiry received related to Processing of SVM Sensitive Data.
3. Cardholder Data. In addition to, and without limiting, the other applicable requirements, in the event Company has any access to or use of Cardholder Data (as defined below), Company shall comply with the following:
(A) Cardholder Data Protection. Company shall implement, maintain and use such proper security control and measures as is necessary to ensure the secure Processing of Cardholder Data and to protect Cardholder Data from unauthorized Processing or other compromise. In all events, Company shall comply with the Card Organizations’ Payment Card Industry (“PCI”) Data Security Standard v. 2.0, or such later version or replacement standard required by PCI to maintain its certification (“PCI DSS”). In addition to PCI DSS, Company shall comply with such other programs, policies, procedures, obligations, duties, rules, regulations and requirements of the Card Organizations (now or in the future) regarding Cardholder Data (e.g., the Visa Cardholder Information Security Program, the MasterCard Site Data Protection Program, the American Express Data Security Operating Policy, etc) (collectively, “Card Organizations Rules”). Company acknowledges receipt and review of the Card Organization Rules and will review a Card Organization’s Rules at such Card Organization’s web site and at the Payment Card Industry web site: http://www.PCISecurityStandards.Org

In the event any Breach affecting, directly or indirectly, Cardholder Data is suspected, alleged or confirmed, Company will notify SVM promptly (in all events, within twenty-four (24) hours) of such Event. Within forty-eight (48) hours of the Event, Company shall conduct an internal investigation to determine whether unauthorized Processing of Cardholder Data may have occurred and shall report the results of such investigation to SVM. If such investigation is inconclusive, or upon request by SVM or a Card Organization, Company, at Company’s sole expense, will engage a forensic investigator vendor, selected or approved by SVM and/or the Card Organizations, no later than forty-eight (48) hours following Company’s notice of the Event to SVM, to investigate the Event. Such forensic investigator shall conduct promptly an examination of Company’s systems, procedures and records, orally report and discuss the investigator’s initial findings to SVM, and thereafter issue a written report of its findings. For avoidance of doubt, Company shall provide such access, information, and assistance as is necessary for the forensic investigator, SVM and/or Card Organizations to complete the investigation of the Event. Company will not alter or destroy any records related to the Event. Under all circumstances, Company shall maintain complete and accurate documentation regarding Processing of Cardholder Data and the circumstances surrounding an Event. Company will provide to SVM information related to Company’s or any Card Organization’s investigation related to any unauthorized Processing of Cardholder Data including but not limited to forensic reports and systems audits.

(A) Company’s (including, its subcontractors at any tier) developers shall have completed successfully secure code training based on the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). Certification of completion of such training shall be provided to SVM upon its request.
(B) Company’s (including, its subcontractors at any tier) shall have successfully completed training in Security Testing practices to ensure that testing performed by Company meets PCI DSS. Certification of completion of such training shall be provided to SVM upon its request.
6. Certification Requirements. Company shall:
(A) comply with both the general certification requirements set forth in this Section and any those other applicable certification requirement(s) set forth elsewhere in these InfoSec Compliance Requirements or Company’s agreement(s) with SVM.
(B) provide certification of compliance with the applicable InfoSec Compliance Requirements by either obtaining such certification from an independent information security service company or through an annual self-assessment and certification, as approved by SVM.
(C) provide SVM with a copy of Company's applicable security standards, policies, procedures, and guidelines upon request of SVM.
(D) Company shall provide written certification to SVM that SVM Sensitive Data has been destroyed in accordance with these requirements.
These certifications shall be sent to: (i) the contact listed in the notices provision of the agreement in relation to which the SVM Sensitive Data is used; and, (ii) the following [to be provided]:
7. Audit Rights
(A) Company shall, upon reasonable notice, allow its data processing facilities, procedures and documentation to be inspected by SVM, Card Organizations and Payment Card Processor (or designee of any them) in order to ascertain compliance with applicable law, these InfoSec Compliance Requirements, the MNDA and any agreements between SVM and Company.
(B) Company shall fully cooperate with such audit requests by providing access to relevant knowledgeable personnel, physical premises, documentation, infrastructure and application software.
(C) In addition, upon notice, SVM, Card Organization, Payment Card Processor (or designee of any of them) may conduct remote electronic scans for Company’s systems, similar to those conducted under PCI DSS, to confirm compliance with the requirements of these InfoSec Requirements (including, without limitation, Card Organization Rules and PCI DSS). Company shall promptly cooperate to allow such scans.
(D) In all events, the results of audits and scans, including but not limited to any written reports, shall be made available to SVM and, notwithstanding any contrary confidentiality, use or disclosure restrictions in any agreement between Company and SVM, SVM may make such results available, as applicable, to Card Organizations and Payment Card Processor.
8. Non-Compliance. Company’s failure to comply with any InfoSec Compliance Requirement (including, without limitation, failure to implement any corrective action(s) within the required timeframe) is a material breach of Company’s agreement(s) with SVM. Without limiting any other right or remedy that SVM may have, SVM reserves the right to terminate, for default/breach, those agreement(s) affected (directly or indirectly) by such non-compliance.
9. Authorized Providers. As used in these InfoSec Compliance Requirements, the term “Company” includes “Authorized Providers” when Company utilizes an Authorized Provider to Process SVM Sensitive Data. Company shall cause Authorized Providers to comply with these InfoSec Compliance Requirements, including, but not limited to, providing the required certifications, reports, information, assistance, and access. Company is solely responsible and liable for each Authorized Provider’s compliance with, and breach of, these InfoSec Compliance Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, unless and until a third party has agreed, in writing, to comply with these InfoSec Compliance requirements, such third party is not an “Authorized Provider.”
10. Delegation by SVM. SVM may delegate to a third party any right (e.g., inspection, audit, enforcement etc.) granted to SVM under these InfoSec Compliance requirements. Company shall provide such access, information, data, and cooperation to such third party as Company is required to provide SVM under these InfoSec Compliance requirements.
