eWAY Explained

Multiple Data Centres

With data centres in various locations and cities we ensure that our service will continue in the case of an outage. Data is replicated across all sites, allowing each data centre to operate as the primary if necessary.

Clustered Web Architecture

With more than one of every device within our environment, we offer a fully redundant solution. Should one device fail, there is always another on hand to divert traffic/data and ensure uptime is maintained.

Premium Hosting Partner

Our hosting partner Macquarie Telecom provides mission critical application hosting for businesses.

Our hosting partner is responsible for managing and delivering the guaranteed service levels, scalable, 'always-on' and secure solutions that online, digital media and high-availability transaction-based companies need to meet demand for their services.

VeriSign DNS

We partner with VeriSign to ensure internet traffic passing to the eWAY payment gateway is routed to the correct location within our environment.

VeriSign is the world leaders in DNS Assurance, guaranteeing 100% uptime and geographic redundancy on their system. VeriSign controls the Internet backbone (.com and .net domains) and delivers superior speed and performance to our DNS requirements.

PCI-DSS Compliant

We are externally audited each year to ensure we are Tier 1 PCI-DSS compliant, the highest level of compliance mandated by the major credit card schemes.

Our hosting partner, Macquarie Telecom, operates Australia’s only PCI-DSS compliant data centre further enhancing our commitment to security.

Data Encryption

Credit card data stored by eWAY is encrypted using Ingrian devices to provide the highest level of protection available. Ingrian devices provide tamper-resistant protection of cryptographic keys to ensure encrypted data is kept private and secure.

Website Scans

We use McAfee Secure to scan our website daily for possible security flaws. By keeping up to date with current threats we ensure that information entered on our website cannot be compromised.

McAfee is the leader in website scans, protecting over 80,000 eCommerce websites from online threats and vulnerabilities.

SSL Certificates

Securing your website with a recognised SSL Certificate protects your customers’ information and increases consumer confidence and trust. Our Platinum Partnership with VeriSign, Thawte and GeoTrust; the world’s leading SSL providers, allows us to offer SSL Certificates at a fraction of their retail price.
