PCI

Stripe is the payment information and credit card processing provider used by Control Plane. Security is a top priority for Control Plane, and as such, we have invested significant resources to obtain and maintain PCI compliance. This commitment to security is evidenced by annual on-site assessments and continuous risk management to ensure the platform remains secure for all of our users. For a copy of our PCI Attestation of Compliance (AoC), please contact support@controlplane.com.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a security standard for organizations that handle credit and debit card information. The standard was created to increase controls around payment data and reduce fraud. If you want to sell online and accept payments from Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover, your software and hosting needs to be PCI compliant.
