How We Secure Online Payments
WildApricot payment systems use a high grade of hosting at Armor, the leader in secure cloud hosting, capable of protecting sensitive data and brand reputations of the world's biggest enterprises. The platform uses two data centers located in Dallas, TX and Phoenix, AZ to provide a very reliable solution.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was developed to encourage and enhance cardholder data security and facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security measures globally. Certification confirms that we:
- Build and maintain a secure network and systems
- Protect cardholder data
- Maintain a vulnerability management program
- Implement strong access control measures
- Regularly monitor and test networks
- Maintain an information security policy
The Wild Apricot platform supports PCI DSS v3.2, and is responsible for the security of cardholder data the service provider possesses or otherwise stores, processes, or transmits on behalf of the customer, or to the extent that they could impact the security of the customer’s cardholder data environment.
Wild Apricot passed a PCI audit in 2021. AOC (Attestation of Compliance) can be provided upon request.
