• We use Extended Validation SSL with 256-bit encryption. Only two of the four major South African banks use this, the highest, level of encryption currently available.
• 3D Secure is in place for all credit card transactions over R1000.
• All sensitive info is encrypted within our own database.
• We run penetration testing on our system on a weekly basis to look for vulnerabilities. We are only required to do it once every three months, but we run it every week.
• Our entire site, blog and help site are served off secure servers, making it harder to perpetrate phishing attacks.
