PCI DSS Compliances

CommFront online store has been upgraded to certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant since March 7, 2016. In addition, the entire CommFront website is secured by the latest TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, CommFront has put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online and offline.

TLS is the latest standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between our web server and your browsers remain secure, private, and integral.

What is PCI DSS Compliance?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an information security standard for organizations that handle credit card and debit card information. Defined by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, the standard was created to increase controls around credit card data to reduce credit card fraud via its exposure. 

PCI DSS compliance has become a norm in the online shopping industry and If any vendor wants to sell online and accept payments from Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover credit cards, the software and hosting needs to be PCI compliant as otherwise, customers are taking risks of leaking their credit card information to 3rd parties.
