Information security is critical to our business.
VCS protects the security of information during transmission by using 128 bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.
The VCS servers are certified by Thawte, a public Certificate Authority, ensuring the cardholder and the merchant that nobody can impersonate VCS to obtain confidential information.
The number of employees involved in the management of the VCS data centre that have physical access to the production servers is limited. The production servers are kept at the UUNet secure data centre in Gallo Manor.
VCS uses firewalls and other security technology to prevent access by unauthorised persons and against disclosure, alteration or destruction.
The merchant is never permitted access to the cardholder's card details.
Virtual Card Services continually reviews and enhances its security systems in line with technological changes.
