CRE Secure Expands its Payment Compatibility to AuthorizeDotNet by Webmaster
Cloud-based PCI-Compliant Online Payment Service now seamlessly connects to Authorize.net Gateway
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 4, 2009 -- CRE Secure, the first cloud-based security payment system that is fully compliant with new credit card security rules, announces today that it has expanded its PCI compliant credit card processing security service with a new integrated connection to Authorize.net, the most popular payment gateway in North America. Online retailers and web based applications who take credit and debit cards using Authorize.net as their payment gateway can now sign up for CRE Secure PCI Security and still keep their existing connection to Authorize.net and their existing merchant banking relationships.
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) were enacted by the world's major credit card companies in response to the growing number of expensive data breaches. Starting Oct. 1, new online retailers will no longer be allowed to host credit card transactions in non PCI-approved environments. Stores that aren't compliant can be fined, have their transaction fees raised, or even have their merchant accounts frozen.
"It's a race to secure online transactions from hackers and fraud", said Greg McGraw, CEO of CRE Commerce, the parent company of CRE Secure. "Too often we read about one more major breach of credit card security, particularly in ecommerce. Last month's breach of Network Solution's hosting business of over 573,000 cardholders who bought online from over 4,300 of Network Solution's small merchants, mostly 'Mom and Pop' businesses, highlights just how important it is for anyone taking credit cards to understand what PCI compliance means to them and how to protect yourself."
CRE Secure takes the worry out of the daunting PCI-compliance process. The service--which is available for free until October 1st and thereafter for a nominal fee per transaction--integrates with retailers' existing online shopping cart programs or custom developed ecommerce applications and connects those programs to popular payment gateways like Authorize.net and Chase Orbital. CRE Secure will continue to release new secure connections to all major payment gateways and online shopping carts in time for the October 1st deadline.
CRE Secure is the only payment system that automatically protects both cardholder privacy and the ecommerce merchant from potential attack vectors through a patent pending process that mirrors any retailer's website design and by uniquely serving up a PCI compliant hosted payment page. When an online store is powered by CRE Secure's HTML Clone™ technology, shoppers never know they left the site when they're ready to pay, even though their payment transactions are hosted in one of the most secure PCI-compliant data centers in the country. With services such as PayPal, on the other hand, shoppers are sent to another company's own branded page--a process that often leads to buyer confusion and abandoned orders.
"Recognizing that there were no universal secure payment systems available for small to medium sized merchants, we jumped at the opportunity to help the online stores become truly PCI compliant without sacrificing control of their stores or costing an arm and a leg to implement," says McGraw. "And what we found was that larger enterprise merchants who could afford to host their stores in PCI compliant data centers are opting for outsourced solutions like CRE Secure which greatly reduces the administrative burden of security policy management associated with PCI compliance." CRE Secure's certified payment modules for several different shopping carts are available for download from http://www.cresecure.com. CRE Secure's custom integration toolkit is also available for enterprise merchants or unique online ecommerce implementations.
