Online shopping is increasing in popularity, and you can take advantage of that by ensuring you provide the online payment options your customers want. However, you are dealing with sensitive financial information. Customers expect you to treat their sensitive data with care. Not only that, but the law also implies specific requirements when you deal with this kind of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/data-privacy-it\/personal-information-nz\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">personal information<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. One of these requirements is to collect and store such details securely. Therefore, you need to take steps to ensure that you have a secure online payment process that aligns with your legal obligations. This article will go through four tips for creating<\/span> a secure online payment process on your website, so that you can<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> meet these requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. Research Your Options<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nowadays, your online store can take on many potential forms. You could collect online payments through:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">your own website gateway;<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.nz\/e-commerce\/implementing-e-commerce-solution\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">eCommerce platform<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">; or<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a store page on an online marketplace.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n<p>Some store options will come with built-in methods for accepting customers\u2019 payments online.&nbsp;For example, Shopify, a popular eCommerce platform, lets you accept customers\u2019 credit card details using their service \u201cShopify Payments\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What you need to do to secure your online payments will depend on the:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">structure of the website you run;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">level of control you have over the payment options; and<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">kinds of customer payments you accept.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you sell on your own online store, work together with your bank to determine what payment gateways they support. They can help you determine which options provide the best value for your money and what kind of security you may need. Figure out what payment functions you want to offer your customers, and work from there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n<p>For example, do you want to offer customers a shopping cart function that can store their purchases for a set period? The security concerns involved in this will differ from if you were only to offer a \u2018buy now\u2019 functionality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Check Relevant Security Standards<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you operate on an eCommerce platform or online marketplace, they will primarily handle the details of managing online payment software securely. However, you still need to evaluate these options to ensure that they offer the security you want for your online payments. If you operate from your own system, then you are responsible for meeting security standards.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you accept credit card payments, you should make sure any online payment system you use is PCI compliant. This means it complies with the global minimum security standard for credit payments, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This standard operates on maintaining secure behaviours and systems to protect customers\u2019 financial data adequately. These requirements include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">implementing a firewall to protect card data;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">not using default passwords or log in credentials;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">using and regularly updating anti-virus software;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">encrypting the transmission of cardholder data and protecting stored data; and<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">regularly testing and monitoring networks.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n<a

Encrypt Your Connection<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Encryption is a way of scrambling your information into a code that third parties cannot understand. Only a party with the relevant code can decode the data and read it. Any website page that deals with online payments should be encrypted, indicated by the lock icon next to your domain URL. This significantly reduces the risk of a cyberattack while customers are in the process of giving you their financial details. If you store customers\u2019 financial details as well, ensure that you encrypt this data.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, you may allow customers to save their credit card details with your payment service for easy access later. This adds the responsibility of ensuring that this stored card data is also encrypted and secure.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No matter what kind of software or gateway you use for accepting online payments, ensure that it is up to date on any patches or security fixes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4. Develop a Response Strategy<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most crucial pieces of security is developing an incident response plan should there be a security breach. You need to implement secure preventative measures, but these can only ever lower a cybersecurity risk rather than eliminate it completely. Dealing with the fallout of a cyberattack will be significantly more manageable and less stressful if you have a predetermined plan to follow. Such a plan may include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">shutting down systems to prevent further leakage;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">evaluating access points to determine where a breach occurred;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">informing affected parties where appropriate; and<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">accessing backups for unaffected software and information.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As more and more customers turn to the Internet for their shopping needs, your business online presence will only continue to expand. Customers want to know that their sensitive financial details are secure, so you need to take steps to ensure you meet the appropriate standard. Privacy law also requires that you enact reasonable security measures for this kind of information.
