Fully Automated And Powerful Security

We take data and transactional security seriously and security is at the core of everything we do. The Payment Card Industry (PCI) has a set of standards called the Data Security Standards (DSS).  It is a mandatory compliance standard for all payment service providers, and we are certified every year to ensure our standards remain world-class.

PCI requires the highest levels of security in all areas where cardholder data is transmitted and stored. As such, we have created a multi-layered, secure payment gateway, mirrored and housed within a world-class Cable & Wireless facility.

Data is encrypted as per our PCI requirements, and intrusion detection, responses, and systems monitoring, go hand-in-hand with formalized security policies.

Critical servers are monitored round-the-clock via a sequence of advanced, and automated, alerts.  We have support staff on call 24/7/365 to receive these alerts and respond within a 15-30 minute time period.

cGate® Secure

The cGate® Secure suite of products is designed to transmit all transaction data safely and securely over the Internet. All data exchanged between the cGate®Secure "client" solutions on the merchant server, and our servers, is encrypted.

In addition to SSL security, a hash signature is required with each transaction. The SHA1 hash is a security feature that enables the merchant and FAC to identify that the transaction results are from an authorized server source, and to verify the integrity of the data received in a transaction request. 

Account Information Security (AIS)

This is a certification by Visa and we are one of the few companies in the Latin American Caribbean Region (LACR) to have achieved this standard. If you would like to see a copy of our PCI certificate, please contact us at info@fac.bm.
