You need to check into something called "PCI compliance,"
which is a fairly new requirement of (I believe) both Visa
and Mastercard for how credit card numbers need to be
stored.  If your transaction volume is over a certain
amount, they actually check your compliance, and if it's
under a certain amount they have the right to audit your
compliance.  In either case, the fines are pretty steep for
failing to comply.

You can be failing compliance and liable for the fines even
if there is no actual security breach.

Good luck,
