1) Scrap your Windos server and ASP pages

2) Rewrite your pages in php bearing in mind all the security points listed
in the documentation

3) You need to run a Web Server that has a Digital Certificate, which
basically means a dedicated server.

4) Use Secure Shell port forwarding to download the MySQL data

Altenatively consider using a 3rd party credit card processor such as Paypal
or Worldpay.
