Connection Security
Security is one of our biggest concerns. Our payment gateway host has acquired PCI service provider level 1 certification. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. All communications and transactions are implemented using TLS (SSL) connections, these are verified constantly. Our third party gateway regularly audits the aforementioned implementations.
Encryption
All credit card information, personal data, and any identifiable meta-information related to our users is encrypted with AES-256 Cipher.
Our payment gateway also implements PGP-encryption for all communications to and from the respective servers and client protocols.
Our platform is fully compliant with all PCI data security standards and meets the requirements and security constraints of the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) and SAQ A. By performing all transmission of sensitive cardholder data within an IFRAME served off of our Payment Gateway Provider's domain that is controlled by them.
Kampus BuyBack strives to provide a safe and reliable environment for your financial transactions. However, providing such an environment is not as simple as following standard security protocols. No system is 100% secure; even with top-of-the-line, cutting edge technology. The major database breaches of major companies that have been observed in the past few years prove this point all too well.
It is because no system is 100% secure that we believe true security is found in the actions taken in the aftermath of a breach. How quickly did the company recognize the breach and seal it? What efforts were made to contact and explain the situation to the affected users? What policies were adopted to prevent a similar breach in the future? These questions and many more are important when judging the reliability of a company.
Kampus BuyBack strives to offer more than just the standard - we want to offer our users the promise that, even in the event of a breach, we will do our utmost to keep you safe.
