iTransact combines Secure Socket Layer (SSL), PGP encryption, and proprietary technologies to enable merchants to accept payments easily and securely. One of the major misconceptions regarding Internet security is that information submitted to a server using SSL will always remain encrypted and secure. This is not true. A secure (SSL) server alone does nothing to protect the data after it is received by the server. SSL creates a secure path between the user's browser and the SSL-enabled server. However, the information is only secure during the time that it is being transmitted from the browser to the server. Once the information reaches the server, the information is decrypted and SSL has no effect. If there is no further encryption taking place once the information reaches the server, the security of the information is compromised.
iTransact takes advantage of advanced security and encryption features to ensure the security and safety of customer data. After customer data (credit card number or checking account number) arrives at iTransact's server via SSL, it is re-encrypted, which makes the information unreadable. This information is then pushed to an offline server (not accessible via the Internet) where the information is safely decrypted and the transaction is completed.
iTransact is fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry's Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). PCI standards are endorsed by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and other leading card brands.
iTransact's most recent PCI audit was conducted by Specialized Security Services, Inc. View the Certificate of Compliance (pdf format).
