Secure Solutions for ISV Payment Processing

At CSG Forte, we handle the security, compliance and transaction processing so you can focus on growing your business. Here’s how our platform secures payment data:

Tokenization

CSG Forte’s platform protects data through tokenization, a security measure that keeps sensitive data safe by replacing it with a randomly generated token with no intrinsic value. Just like encryption, this process makes it hard for fraudsters to decipher card data in case they intercept a transfer. By leveraging this solution, you reduce your cyber risk and simplify your compliance requirements.

PCI Compliant Solutions

The payment card industry (PCI) has strict rules for businesses that accept card payments and process transactions over card association networks. PCI compliance comprises the operational and technical requirements your business must follow to protect customers’ credit card data, including:

  • Conducting routine network maintenance
  • Implementing cardholder data encryption
  • Adding security against malicious software
  • Restricting internal access to sensitive data

CSG Forte offers PCI-compliant payment solutions that you can include in your monthly subscription to our platform. This additional support allows ISVs to simplify the compliance process and protect the data of people who make payments through your software.

Top-Notch Encryption

Our platform utilizes an integrated data encryption process that conceals card data during transactions, protecting it if it gets intercepted. The encryption process is also compliant with PCI standards, which further streamlines PCI compliance checks.
