Robust payment security built for your firm and clients
At 8am CPACharge, protecting your firm's payment data, and your clients', isn't an afterthought. It's built into every transaction. PCI Level 1-attested infrastructure, encryption, and tokenization work behind the scenes, so you spend less time worrying about security and more time running your practice.
Data Security & PCI Compliance
Data Security
You never have to handle sensitive card data directly. Clients enter their own payment details on a secure CPACharge page, so your firm reduces risk while still delivering a professional, seamless payment experience.
CPACharge is also SOC 2 Type 2 attested, giving your firm added assurance that data is handled under rigorous security and privacy standards.
PCI Compliance
Stay compliant without managing it all yourself. CPACharge is PCI DSS Level 1-attested, the strictest level available, with quarterly assessments and continuous monitoring built in, so audits and requirements stay off your plate.
I love that I can send clients to my CPACharge payment page to input payment information themselves. I never have to personally input or authorize charges, so I can avoid any potential concerns of conflicts or misuse of client confidential information.

Multiple layers of protection
Your clients' card data stays protected at every step. Tokenization replaces real numbers with a secure token that's useless outside CPACharge, encryption keeps data locked down while it's in transit and in storage, and built-in fraud detection watches for suspicious activity in real time. The result is less risk for your firm and one less thing to worry about when it comes to compliance.
Client-First Security
Securely store and reuse payment methods without exposing sensitive data. Card security codes are never stored after authorization, cardholder numbers are protected with AES-256 encryption, and stored data stays encrypted and access-controlled. Payments happen on fully hosted, SSL-secured pages, customizable to your firm's branding, with no third-party redirects and end-to-end encryption in transit.
