Cybersource Secure Acceptance CVN field?

We have recently developed an integration with the testsecureacceptance.cybersource.com/checkout form.

Its all working OK so far, but our client is wondering why the CVV/CVN does not appear as a field in the form?

Is it an option we can activate in the profile perhaps?

Perfect. Thank you!
We didn't know we had to activate the CVN field ourselves.
We're no experts in credit card security and assumed the field is meant to be available by default.
How do we know which cards to show the field for and which ones not?

This is typically an optional field. To clarify more Card-not-present transactions pose an additional level of risk to your
business because the customerโ€™s identification cannot be verified. You can reduce that risk by using features such as Card Verification Numbers (CVNs). Basically the CVNs provide additional protection from fraud. 

Some exceptions to consider for Card Verification Number;

FDMS Nashville

Required for American Express or if swiped; otherwise, optional.

Ingenico ePayments

Do not include this field when commerceIndicator=recurring.
Note Ingenico ePayments was previously called Global Collect.

TSYS Acquiring Solutions

Optional if pointOfSaleInformation.entryMode=keyed; otherwise, not used.

GPX

Optional.

All other processors:

Optional.
