  Authorize.Net's security & compliance posture, captured from the Data Security
  Compliance knowledge-base article. Authorize.Net is a Visa Solutions / Visa
  Acceptance (formerly CyberSource / a Visa company) payment gateway and validates
  its compliance annually via external auditors. Certifications are provided to
  merchants on request through a Support Case rather than a public trust portal,
  which is why the automated trust-center probe (which requires a trust.<domain>
  page) recorded nothing — this is the searched, human-verified fill.

  - {name: PCI DSS, note: Renewed annually via external security scans; Authorize.Net operates as a PCI-compliant payment gateway / service provider. Level not stated on the public page.}
  - {name: SSAE-18 (SOC 1), availability: on request via Support Case, cadence: annual, note: Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 18 report on internal controls; also referred to as SOC 1.}
  - {name: Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), cadence: annual, note: Annual validation by external auditors for applicable SOX provisions.}
