It is recommended for any firm that processes payments online to undertake a Payment Gateway Audit in order to have a physical check on the payment processing systems. CyberSecIT’s audit service assesses the payment gateway environment of an organization on encryption, authentications, and fraud management. The audit confirms that the payment gateway meets standard requirements such as the PCI DSS so as to prevent breaches and theft of valuable customer data. It is also important to revisit the capacity of the selected payment gateway in terms of responding to incidents, and also in terms of its conformity to the existing data privacy laws. The Payment Gateway Audit is particularly beneficial to businesses because it helps flag potential dangers on a firm’s payment processing, enhance protection mechanisms and ensure compliance to law. This serves to mitigate the high incidences of fraud that have been rife in the current society and also improves customer trust by providing them with a safe way of making transactions online.
