This adherence guarantees a secure environment for credit and debit transactions, mitigating the risk of card theft and fraud.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For businesses that <a href=\"https:\/\/in.nttdatapay.com\/blog\/accept-upi-payment-online\/\">accept online payments<\/a>, comprehending PCI DSS standards is crucial. It enables them to make informed decisions when selecting a <a href=\"https:\/\/in.nttdatapay.com\/blog\/10-points-consider-selecting-digital-payment-partner\/\">payment partner<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. SET &#8211; Secure Electronic Transaction<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) is an encryption-based system and electronic protocol developed collaboratively by leading card schemes, VISA and Mastercard. SET ensures the protection of credit card payment data by concealing all personal information associated with the card.\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This comprehensive encryption prevents unauthorised access to sensitive details by fraudsters. Additionally, SET restricts merchants from accessing the cardholder&#8217;s data, ensuring further privacy and data security.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Data Encryption<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data encryption serves as the primary mechanism employed by payment gateways to safeguard sensitive transaction data. When providing your card information during the checkout process, the payment gateway encrypts this data. Through encryption, the data is transformed into an alternative format or code, ensuring that only individuals possessing the secret key can access it.\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subsequently, the payment gateway decrypts the transaction using its private key. This process significantly diminishes the likelihood of unauthorised access to the data.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. SSL &#8211; Secure Socket Layer<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a security technology that establishes a secure connection between a <a href=\"https:\/\/in.nttdatapay.com\/blog\/what-are-third-party-payment-providers\/\">payment provider<\/a> and a customer&#8217;s web browser. It ensures that any data transmitted through SSL is encrypted. SSL is supported by all web browsers.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a website directly handles transactions, it is imperative to have SSL implemented. However, if the website redirects visitors to a secure checkout page hosted on the payment gateway&#8217;s domain, having SSL on the website itself is not mandatory. In such cases, the payment gateway supplies the SSL link to the browser.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. 3D Secure<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3D Secure is an important protocol that helps enhance online payment security. It provides an extra layer of authentication when customers make purchases. During checkout, the customer is redirected to their bank or credit card issuer&#8217;s website after entering their payment details to verify the transaction.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This verification step, whether through one-time passwords, fingerprint authentication, or other methods, helps reduce the risk of fraud. Only the legitimate cardholder can confirm the purchase. Verification <a href=\"https:\/\/in.nttdatapay.com\/blog\/how-to-prevent-fraudulent-transactions\/\">prevents fraudulent transactions<\/a> from being completed if their card details become compromised.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Tokenisation<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tokenisation is an important security technique used in online payment processing that can help reduce the risk of fraud. It involves replacing sensitive account details like credit card numbers with unique payment tokens. These tokens are then used to identify transactions and authorise payments going forward.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By tokenising data at the point of sale or payment gateway, merchants and processors never directly access and store the full primary account number (PAN). If a data breach did occur, the tokens would be rendered useless to attackers rather than actual payment credentials being exposed.\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a customer wishes to purchase, the <a href=\"https:\/\/in.nttdatapay.com\/blog\/what-is-payment-tokenization-and-how-does-it-work\/\">payment token<\/a> is sent for authorisation rather than the full PAN. This token can be used repeatedly for future transactions between the consumer and merchant without needing to re-submit full card details each time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Penetration Testing<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Penetration testing is sometimes called ethical hacking. It involves having qualified security experts attempt to breach our systems in the same way criminals might so we can identify and address vulnerabilities proactively.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both external and internal penetration tests must be conducted regularly. External tests mimic attacks originating from outside, while internal tests seek to compromise from within, simulating the risk of human error or a disgruntled employee. Finding weaknesses before real attackers do is crucial.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All penetration tests are carefully planned and approved in advance to avoid disruptions to operations. Rigorous testing helps ensure network segmentation, access controls, authentication methods, and other layered defences are robust enough to withstand determined hackers.\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Employee Training<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employee training is crucial to any comprehensive security program. For those in customer-facing roles, the focus is on social engineering tactics like phishing scams and how to verify customer identities properly.\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For engineers and other technical personnel, emphasise secure coding practices, incident response protocols, and how to identify and report potential vulnerabilities. Compliance training makes sure all staff are up-to-date on the latest industry regulations like PCI DSS.\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ongoing training seeks to foster a security-conscious culture where all staff feel empowered and equipped to help safeguard customer payment data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><b><i>Did you know? <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to data from the PCI Security Standards Council, organisations that comply see an average of 78% fewer security incidents. They also saw a 60% drop in the total number of exposed cards compared to non-compliant companies.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Securing Payment Gateway With NTT DATA Payment Services<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that credit card fraud results in losses of over $24 billion globally each year, according to recent estimates?

How do I secure my payment gateway?<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implement robust authentication, enable encryption for all transactions, apply the principles of least privilege to user access, and keep software updated regularly. Also, conduct penetration testing and security audits.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h4><b>2. What payment gateway security standards should I follow?<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for a gateway that adheres to PCI DSS, maintains ISO 27001 certification, undergoes regular third-party security audits, and can provide a current security assessment report.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h4><b>3. How do I choose a secure payment gateway?<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider a provider with a strong reputation, robust infrastructure protections, support for encryption and tokenisation, dedicated security personnel and policies, and a history of vulnerability responsiveness. Prioritise vendors with certifications like PCI compliance.<\/span> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h4><b>4.
