Security Policy from our Payment Service Provider

SECPay works hard to meet and exceed industry security standards. We are vetted yearly by the credit card schemes and meet PCI (Payment Card Industry) Data Security Standards and we are the only independent payments service provide to achieve the independently audited ISO 9001:2000 Quality Assurance Management standards. SECPay is also working towards BS7799 certification demonstrating a further commitment to maintaining information security.

Protecting merchants against fraud is a high priority at SECPay, as is protecting their customers against fraudulent use of their card details.

SECPay implements the Visa VBV (Verified by Visa) and the Mastercard SecureCode fraud prevention measures, collectively referred to as 3D Secure. This ensures the risk of fraud stays with the card issuer for all electronic commerce transactions and drastically reduces fraud.

Some Fraud can be prevented - especially identity theft fraud - some can be highlighted with a level of uncertainty and measures taken where required. SECPay's stringent fraud detection and prevention measures are our customers' reassurance of the highest possible security.

High encryption levels maintain the security and privacy of all card details, and all transactions are processed within seconds in real time. Our analytical tools can check purchases for a number of unusual attributes that might indicate a potential problem and set up sophisticated rules to take counter measures.
