Fundamental Security Tips
It's critical to become a stickler for security when it comes to your customer's data. Some fundamental tips are to use strong passwords and change them frequently, make sure your site is PCI compliant, never store sensitive information in plain-text at any point, use digital certificates, store transaction IDs and subscription IDs over credit card data, and above all do not store any more customer data than is necessary. Be sure to employ these basic security measures to help safeguard your customer's data.

Another way merchants can increase credit card data security and simultaneously reduce the scope of PCI Compliance, is to use tokenization. Tokenization allows merchants to replace credit card data with unique identifiers (i.e. any alphanumeric combination) that can be used for processing future transaction. By removing the credit card data from the merchant environment, even if they are breached, the sensitive data is not present to be stolen. To view a 4 minute video on this, go to braintreepci.com
