Our Commitment to Security
This is a secure site and is audited regularly under the security standards
of the payment card industry. As such, CSA is certified with the Level 1
(highest standards) of Payment Card Industry's Data Security Standards
(PCI-DSS). The standard requires that we maintain physical, network,
infrastructure, users and all other key aspects of security including virus
protection. The standard also mandates frequent audits by Visa/MasterCard
certified auditors against security risks.
CSA will endeavor to take all steps deemed reasonable by it to keep secure any information we hold about you, and to keep this information accurate and up to date. Your information is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities. We require our employees and data processors to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by CSA.
Based on our PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance, CSA uses appropriate commercially available anti-virus software to ensure that this Platform does not contain or carry viruses. However, due to the rapidly developing nature of viruses and the Internet we strongly recommend that you employ similar anti-virus software when accessing the CSA Platform. CSA makes no warranty that the Platform or email correspondence is free from such viruses.
