100% Secure Online Ordering
CascadiaDesignStudio.com is a secure site, certified by Trustwave to meet Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council compliance for all credit/debit card transactions.
PCI Compliance is designed to protect against hackers and phishing scams attempting to illegally acquire credit card information, as well as other breaches of credit card security. PCI sets standards for encrypted transmissions, web site vulnerability scans, logical and physical access controls, activity monitoring, and more:
- CascadiaDesignStudio.com undergoes frequent, comprehensive PCI security scans by Trustwave to detect any possible vulnerability to hackers.
- Our shopping cart software is certified PA DSS (Payment Application Data Security Standard) compliant.
- Our web server and hosting environment are also PCI compliant. In addition we have a dedicated IP address and dedicated SSL Certificate issued by the Comodo Group Ltd.
- Our merchant account company (payment gateway) is PCI complaint.
- Our website and payment gateway use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt all customer and credit card information for transmission over the Internet.
- We do not receive or store your credit card number, thus thieves can't steal what isn't there. At no time does your credit or debit card number pass to Cascadia Design Studio, or anyone else outside the banking system. We receive an order authorization number from our payment gateway, but not your credit card number.
SSL Protocol
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol that provides security for communications over the Internet. Since the SSL protocol security technology was introduced in 1996, consumers have been educated to look for the SSL padlock in the Status Bar at the bottom of their browser before sending personal information over the Internet. In addition, the "s" in "https" at the beginning of our Order Page URL verifies you are logging onto a secure page. This makes your online transaction as secure as purchasing in person.
Seeing the SSL padlock in your browser while on our Order and Credit Card entry pages means:
- You have a secure (encrypted) connection with our server.
- Cascadia Design Studio is a valid and accountable legal entity, verified by the Comodo Group Ltd, a WebTrust Compliant Certification Authority.
