Security
Can my customer access my accounting system?
No your customer can only access information over the website. This will reflect data from the accounting system but the customer cannot directly update the accounting system or read any sensitive data from the system. They can only see data that you wish to show them such as their orders, invoices etc.
Is the customer and credit card information secure?
To keep your information secure we typically recommend that your database server and eCommerce server be two different servers and the database server be behind a firewall. In addition, we either do not store credit card information or store it in an encrypted form. This guarantees security against hackers.
What about credit card fraud?
Ignify eCommerce has a number of measures to prevent and reduce the amount of credit card fraud. At a basic level, Ignify provides the following level of protection
* AVS (Address Verification Service) Protection that checks the billing address
* 3 or 4-digit CSC/ CID (Card Security Code or Card ID Code) protection that provides an additional level of security over the AVS
However, in addition Ignify eCommerce provides the following advance methods of reducing your risk of credit card fraud
Multi-parametric fraud warnings : these fraud warnings look at past fraudulent behavior and build warnings based on heuristic patterns. Examples of these non-intuitive parameters are Next Day Air shipping (a fraudster does not care about the cost of the freight and wants the order as soon as possible), Shipping to a PO Box address. As Ignify is a self-learning system this list of parameters and the potential fraud combinations keeps growing to protect you from credit card fraud by giving you early warning before you process the order
Fraud hot list : Ignify has the provision to maintain a fraud hotlist of fraudulent credit card numbers and fraudulent zip codes to alert you with warnings when the hot-list credit card numbers are used or an order is shipped to a potentially fraudulent zip code
