| Titre | Online payment security: 8 Steps to ensure safe transactions |
| Texte | This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. Online shopping has become an increasingly popular trend in the past few years as people find it more convenient to buy from the comfort of their homes. You can get pretty much anything and everything from online stores: groceries, clothing, jewelry, electronics and other household items. Yet, we need to consider for a moment if all these online financial transactions taking place are safe – and how can we ensure our protection from online frauds such as identity theft and phishing attacks. It would be a little exaggerating to say that online transactions are highly insecure. Rather, most online payment systems are relatively secure. Still, online crime is a reality and bad actors are always lurking around looking for possible vulnerabilities to grab and exploit. Unless necessary precautions are taken by both merchants and customers, payment information can be leaked and subsequently compromised. Hence, it is important for both customers and merchants to understand the basic steps to keep online transactions save. Let us look at 8 fundamental steps to ensure safety transactions with online payments Be compliant with PCI DSS Before anything else, the first step to ensure safety is to make sure that your payment system is compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard – an internationally accepted standard for secure card payments with 12 security requirements. PCI Security Standards Council was established in 2006 for regulating payment brands and helping merchants secure financial data of customers. Regardless of the size of your business, compliance to the standard is important to ensure that you meet fundamental security requirements to process customer transactions. PCI SSC also provides online safety education to merchants and assists them in taking important steps to improve their website’s safety. They analyze your transaction system, find and fix vulnerabilities. Their compliance team then creates a report and shares it with all banks and card brands associated with your business. Compliance with PCI DSS means that your company has implemented and the requirements for card payment security. Ensure data encryption The second step towards enhancing online payment security is to use data encryption to keep customer’s financial information private. Nowadays with open WIFI networks, identity theft is prevalent and relatively an easy task for hackers if the data is unencrypted. Websites that your business deals with for online transactions should be valid and with legitimate operators. Data encryption ensures that your sensitive information is only viewed by the authorized parties and does not fall into wrong hands. It also reduces password-hacking likelihood to a great extent. All these features combined proved an additional protection layer for customers during the transaction. Keep your network updated Hackers regularly come up with new ways to hack into systems, and while your network may be safe from them today, it may not be tomorrow. For this reason, it is really important that your business’s computer networks have security updates regularly installed on them. The best way is to sign up for automatic system updates to stay a step ahead from new threats. Automatic update will ensure that all important safeguards are installed, the absence of w |
