iSUBSCRiBE beefs up on-site security

Online subscription business iSUBSCRiBE has announced that it has upgraded to the latest available security technologies to ensure customer details are always safe and secure when purchasing via the website.

The statement from iSUBSCRiBE says: “Our secure transaction environment has been further improved from SSL to use the latest available Extended Value Secure Sockets Layer technology (EV SSL) - the next generation of the original SSL certificate.

This technology is supplied by Comodo, who provide software and services that enable all types of online businesses and consumers to interact and transact via the internet safely and securely. Comodo secures and authenticates the online transactions, communications and endpoints for over 200,000 businesses and millions of users of this desktop security software. EV SSL is the next generation standard for encryption technology and is compatible with Netscape, Internet Explorer, AOL, Firefox, Safari and most other browsers. You can see when transmitted data is safe by the appearance of a security notice, Corner-Of-Trust logo or green bar near the web address when you enter a secure page.

Also, a secure icon will appear on your browser. For Netscape, this is a key icon; for Microsoft Internet Explorer, a lock icon. Secure web pages can also be identified by their URL: they begin with 'https://', while standard pages begin with 'http://'.

iSUBSCRiBE is the first online subscription business to implement 3D Secure, an XML-based protocol which is used as an added layer of security for online credit & debit card transactions. It is often more commonly known as Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode.

3-D Secure adds another authentication step for online payments which means that iSUBSCRiBE achieves higher coverage against fraud losses thereby ensuring that the customers we acquire on your behalf are quality, bona-fide subscribers!

Named after one of our guru tech developers, The Broad Fraud Report has been purpose-built to flag fraudulent orders with specific focus on Direct Debit. The point-system driven report ensures that we capture fraud before the order gets to your bureau - saving your company time, money and ensuring you only receive quality subscribers!

The system uses multiple metrics to score purchases for frequently used fraudulent ordering patterns. We use a combination of historical, geographical, and order pattern matching to red flag direct debit purchases which can normally be very difficult to check for fraud due to limited account verification systems at UK banks.

An absolute must (and legal obligation!) for all transactional websites, iSUBSCRiBE meets and adheres to the requirements of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. The standard was created to help organisations that process card payments prevent credit card fraud through increased controls around data and its exposure to compromise. The standard applies to all organisations that hold, process, or pass cardholder information from any credit or debit card.”
