Your data is secure with us

PCI Level 1 Certified

 

Click & Pledge is a PCI Level 1 provider. PCI DSS compliance standards require strict adherence to a large number of security requirements to maintain our certification. All servers, workstations, network connections, products and offices are audited annually by a 3rd party PCI DSS qualified security assessor (QSA). Additionally, both the official QSA and an additional 3rd party performs in-depth scans and vulnerability tests quarterly.

Some of the requirements for security include:

  • All servers must maintain up-to-date system patches, and antivirus software.
  • All firewalls and security appliance patches are up-to-date.
  • Only employees with specific needs are able to access any system within the Click & Pledge network.
  • Encryption protocols are the most secure available. Weaker encryption methods are retired on a strict schedule.
  • Two-Factor authentication and high-level encryption is required for employee access from outside of our network.
  • Physical access to Click & Pledge’s offices and data centers are controlled and monitored 24/7.
  • Other security procedures, above and beyond PCI requirement include:
    • Firewall and security appliance logs are monitored continuously. Any attempted intrusions are blocked immediately.
    • Our Internet service is monitored continuously to maintain maximum network performance.
    • There are no wireless devices within the Click & Pledge network.
