We understand the importance of staying ahead of ever-changing security trends to protect our shoppers from cybercrimes. Hundreds of thousands of customers trust us with their personal information, and it is our responsibility to ensure that information is safeguarded. That's why we've partnered with Shopify to manage all data on our website, ensuring top-tier security measures are in place.
Your Digital Security is a Top Priority
Shopify takes security very seriously when it comes to hosting the Starfire Direct website. They have invested significant time and resources to achieve Level 1 PCI DSS compliance. From annual on-site assessments that validate compliance to continuous risk management, Shopify works diligently to ensure that our website, shopping cart software, and hosting are secure.
What is PCI DSS Compliance?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an information security standard for organizations that handle credit and debit card information. Defined by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, this standard was created to enhance controls around credit card data, reducing its exposure and mitigating the risk of credit card fraud.
If you want to sell online and accept payments from Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, your software and hosting must be PCI compliant. Starfire Direct uses Shopify to process all orders, ensuring full compliance with all six PCI standards:
- Maintain a Secure Network
- Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program
- Regularly Monitor and Test Networks
- Protect Cardholder Data
- Implement Strong Access Control Measures
- Maintain an Information Security Policy
Secure Shopping
When shopping securely online, you'll notice a small gold or green padlock in your address bar, next to the web address, which reads "https" instead of "http." The "s" stands for "secure," indicating that you've been transferred to a secure connection. This helps prevent hacking, identity theft, and other malicious activities like key-logging and screen-mirroring. These security indicators reassure our customers that their orders are safe and secure.
SSL Certificate
Our site uses 256-bit encryption technology, the same level of encryption used by major banks to keep your information secure.
