Many schools dealing with online tuition payments are concerned about online security. Here at Compuwerx, we are proud to be at the top of the industry with the latest security standards. Here’s how we protect our customers and their school data:
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) v4.0
PCI DSS is a global standard for securing payment card transactions. It requires us to encrypt card data, maintain secure networks, restrict access to sensitive information, and regularly test our systems. We follow strict protocols for storing, transmitting, and processing payment data to reduce the risk of breaches or fraud. Our compliance is verified through audits and vulnerability scans by Qualified Security Assessors. For your organization, this means every payment processed through our system is handled with industry-approved safeguards.
SOC 2 Type 2 (System and Organization Controls)
SOC 2 Type 2 is an independent audit that examines how we protect customer data across four key areas: security, availability, processing integrity and confidentiality. Unlike a one-time snapshot, it evaluates our controls over a 12-month period to ensure they are functioning consistently. We use monitoring tools, access controls, incident response procedures, and rigorous internal policies to meet these criteria. Our audit is conducted by a third-party CPA firm, providing an unbiased view of our operational trustworthiness. This gives you assurance that security, availability, processing integrity and confidentially of your data is consistently maintained and prioritized above all else.
NACHA Rules (National Automated Clearing House Association Rules Compliance)
NACHA governs how ACH (Automated Clearing House) payments are securely initiated, processed, and settled in the U.S. To comply, we implement safeguards such as account validation, secure data transmission, fraud monitoring, and proper authorization procedures. We also maintain detailed records and follow strict timelines for returns, reversals, and notifications of change. Our systems are regularly updated to align with evolving NACHA requirements, including recent rules that strengthen fraud prevention and consumer data protection. For you, this means faster, safer, and fully compliant bank transfers with reduced risk of unauthorized transactions or processing errors.
Our payment processor is constantly addressing the evolving security practices and procedures to keep all digital information safe. We are proud to offer our clients the peace of mind that their data is securely protected.
