Security Compliance

In order to guard the integrity of online transactions, the five major credit card companies created the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) to establish common measures and tools to ensure security compliance. The goal is to create an environment that is safe for consumers and merchants to conduct business.

At Braintree Payment Solutions we maintain the highest standards of security compliance and store all sensitive information on our Level 1 PCI compliant system. When you work with us, you can take advantage of our knowledge and experience to reach PCI compliance without any major disruption in your normal business practices.

PCI Compliance

The process of security compliance can be complex, expensive, and time consuming. The PCI DSS includes 12 requirements that are made up of over 200 individual controls. The 12 requirements are:

1. Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data.
2. Do not use vendor supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters.
3. Protect stored cardholder data.
4. Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks.
5. Use and regularly update anti-virus software.
6. Develop and maintain secure systems and applications.
7. Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know.
8. Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access.
9. Restrict physical access to cardholder data.
10. Track and monitor all access to cardholder data.
11. Regularly test security systems and processes.
12. Maintain a policy that addresses information security.

At Braintree we offer cost effective and timely solutions to your payment processing needs. Trying to accomplish security compliance in-house can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months, and system installations and continual upgrades and maintenance can be very costly. With Braintree’s solutions, however, you can be PCI security compliant in 30 to 60 days, and our customizable system can easily be integrated with your existing application.

A Provider You Can Trust

If you are going to outsource your security to another company, you need to know you can trust them completely. You need to know that they can do what they claim, and that your information is safe with them. You also need to know that you are being treated fairly and equitably.

This is why we created the industry’s only Truth in Pricing Guarantee. We don’t believe you should have to struggle just to understand your fees and pricing structure. We promise: 100% transparency, no hidden fees or surcharges, and a monthly reporting statement that is clear and easy to understand.
