Cash Practice® takes security very seriously. Here is a list of measures we take to ensure security: 

  • Our dedicated servers that host Cash Practice® are stored in a secure internet hosting facility with 24-hour onsite security and surveillance.
  • We use a third-party vendor, Security Metrics, to scan our dedicated server for security vulnerabilities. If any are detected, immediate action is taken to remedy them.
  • All connections made to the server are over an encrypted (https) SSL connection. This is the same technology used by banks.
  • All sensitive data, such as merchant account numbers, credit & bank account numbers, passwords, and more are stored in the database in an encrypted format. Even if someone saw the database they can't read the data. Only the Cash Practice® member can view it when logged in.
  • Each Cash Practice® member has their own encryption key, ensuring your data remains private.
  • Once credit and bank account numbers are entered into the Auto-Debit System®, they are blinded by X's when accessed and viewed by users.
  • When left inactive for a period of time, the website automatically logs the user out.
  • Each time a Cash Practice® web page is loaded, it validates you are an authentic user.
  • Cash Practice® members can create separate logins for staff with limited access to the website.
  • When entering data into forms, all entries are validated & cleaned before processing and database storage.
Your part in protecting sensitive data:
In operational terms, make sure that you are playing your role to make sure your customers' payment card data is being kept safe throughout every transaction, and that they – and you – can have confidence that they're protected against the pain and cost of data breaches.

Take a hard look at your own business environment, and make certain your staff are operating in a secure manner. Simple steps like shredding all documents containing credit card numbers, installing virus protection and anti-phishing software on all computers, and implementing strong policies regarding passwords and user ids can go a long way toward protecting against a security breach.
