How we protect your data and transactions at Palladian Publications Ltd.
At Palladian Publications Ltd, we know how vital security is to our customers. That's why we've implemented state-of-the-art technical and physical safety measures.
Our site utilises Sage Pay, one of the UK's leading payment service providers, ensuring your transactions are protected at every step.
In short, when shopping at Palladian Publications Ltd, you're safe in the knowledge that security will never be compromised.
When you make a transaction on our site, your details are protected using a 128-bit SSL certificate. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encrypts the data transmitted between your browser and our servers, ensuring that no third party can intercept or read the information.
Additionally, MD5 hashing is used to prevent tampering with transaction data. This means even if data were intercepted, it could not be altered without detection.
All sensitive data is encrypted using internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards. This is the same level of encryption used by major financial institutions worldwide.
Encryption keys are stored in tamper-proof hardware security modules, ensuring that even in the unlikely event of a physical security breach, your data remains protected.
Our payment systems undergo quarterly security scans conducted by Trustwave, a leading Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV).
In addition, annual PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) audits are carried out to ensure full compliance. Our systems hold PCI DSS Level 1 compliance status, the highest level of certification available.
All cardholder information is transmitted over private, Internet-separate data links directly to and from the banks. These dedicated, tamper-proof connections ensure that your payment details never travel across the public Internet, providing an additional layer of protection.
Sage Pay operates on twin data centres to ensure optimal system security and up-time. A full disaster recovery and business continuation policy is in place, meaning that even in the event of a major incident, your data remains secure and services can be restored rapidly.
