The Goal of Safety...
This is course 1 of 5 in Safety and Compliance
Why Safety and not Security? Safety is a combination of Security and Compliance. The ability to let a donor give online safely is a two step process that cannot be accomplished with either Security or Compliance alone. Just a secure site without compliance may be easily compromised, or may be storing information prohibited by the credit card companies. A compliant site with poor security can be easily breached and sensitive information can be stolen, often without leaving any trace that a security breach occurred.
The ultimate goal of giving online safely is to combine the highest level of security and compliance, to choose a provider with the best of both worlds. Having a provider with multiple layers of security and industry compliance certifications provides your organization a safe way to let your donors give online.
To help you understand the concepts of safety in the online donantion world, Donation University will illustrate the concepts in the next few courses.
