CentralPay simplifies the PCI-DSS compliance processes, by sweeping away constraints regarding sensitive data management while offering you exclusive control over integrating your services and advanced features.
Its tokenization process has been designed to allow you to determine and limit your security perimeter opting for an SAQ A or SAQ A-EP without degrading your users experience regarding the payment features and processes.
You can either use two options : a "Smart form" or a "Custom form" (with token delivery + JavaScript) to collect payment information which sent directly to CentralPay environment without routing through your servers.
Which means :
- Securing your payment pages using TLS (1.2 min) (Transport Layer Security) to meet HTTPS standards
- Review and validate your service's PCI compliance every year
