The hidden security leak in your
office.
We're
always amazed at people's ability to lie awake
at night worrying about security while missing
their most glaring vulnerabilities. We've
written in the past about orgs that worry about
software security while leaving their server in
an open room, or fret over PCI compliance while
not putting in place policies for the proper
destruction of mail-in forms with cardnumber
data. Now CBS News gets us to focus on an often
overlooked issue: the hard drive in your
digital copier.
Members Only and X-Charge: A
PA-DSS Payment Solution
The major credit card brands are demanding
merchant account holders get in line with their
evolving PCI data security standard. One way
to ease your path to compliance is to use a
payment solution that's already been deemed
secure by the PCI. That's why Members Only
now provides CAMCommerce X-Charge at the heart
of its payment strategy. more...
Members Only with xCharge does more than
let you scan, authorize, and settle securely.
It also provides a mechanism allowing you to
retain access to credit card numbers without
storing them on your own servers.
If you've studied the PCI
requirements, you know that storing card
numbers means you need to observe the most
strenuous of the standards - to protect stored
Account Number data. Compliance becomes much
less of an ordeal if you never store this
information on servers under your control, or
in a way accessible to your staff. But if you
give up access to stored numbers, repeat credit
card billings or even routine chargebacks
become impossible. Here's where X-Charge can
really help.
The X-Charge Archive Vault stores your
cardholder data offsite, on X-Charge servers,
minimizing your exposure. Instead of storing
the account number, you store a "token"
X-Charge returns to you. This alias allows you
to recharge or credit back to that account
number, without ever pulling the full number
back onto your network. Does this meet the PCI
standard for payment applications? Indeed it
does; X-Charge is listed on the PCI Security
website as a PA-DSS compliant
application.
Of course, there is more
to compliance than selecting the right
software. The PCI standard manages to
address the entire security of your network,
from the open ports on your routers to the way
you manage your passwords. Users have been
turning to us for help in meeting these new
requirements. So we've just returned from a
two-day seminar given by PCI in Boston so we
can help the associations and non-profits we
work with get in line with these new rules.
Feel free to give us a call if you'd like to
consult further on what the payment brands are
going to be expecting from
you.

Responsive web design requires a very different way of thinking about
layout that is both challenging and exciting. The art of layout was
already complex enough for the centuries that it was defined by fixed
elements, now things are becoming exponentially more complicated as
layouts become increasingly adaptive.
