SagePay
Sage Pay’s systems are scanned quarterly by Trustwave which are an independent Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) for the payment card brands.
Sage pay is also audited annually under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS)
and is a fully approved Level 1 payment services provider, which is the
highest level of compliance. We are also active members of the PCI
Security Standards Council (SSC) that defines card industry global
regulation.
Transaction Security
All transaction information passed between merchant sites and Sage Pay’s
systems is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder
information is ever passed unencrypted and any messages sent from Sage Pay are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering.
You can be completely assured that nothing you pass to Sage Pay can be examined, used or modified by any third parties
attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Encryption and Data Storage
Once on our systems, all sensitive data is secured using the same
internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among
others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on
state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used
to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but
impossible to extract. The data we hold is extremely secure and we are
regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it
remains so.
Links to Banks
Sage Pay has multiple private links into the banking network that are
completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any
publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the
banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be
tampered with.
Internal Security
Entry to Sage Pay is controlled by Iris Scanners, which are the latest
and most precise biometric security devices available for
identification. As used by chemical plants, airports, police stations,
prisons and other facilities where security is paramount. In addition,
no one can enter or leave the building without a valid security pass.
