SECURITY
KEEPING YOU SECURE
IS OUR #1 JOB
We at Xsolla are here to help your gaming business succeed, built on a foundation of always-evolving data and transaction safety practices.
The Xsolla team backs every product, tool, and service with technology and procedures that meet and exceed the highest industry standards for security, monitoring, and privacy. And we always seek newer, more effective ways to ensure every corner of our network stays airtight.
Though that work is complicated, our approach is simple: we have zero tolerance for anything other than 100% security. We regularly collaborate with our clients to evaluate measures and outcomes, followed by necessary adjustments and upgrades to continue keeping everyone’s business and information safe.
Security
24/7 SAFETY, FOR YOU
AND YOUR PLAYERS
Security has two sides: protecting the information your customers entrust to you and that you entrust to us, and ensuring no one creates an account or completes a transaction with stolen information.
Our practices address both — tailored exclusively for the video gaming industry. All while providing maximum security and maximum successful transactions.
360-degree defense
Multiple, layered systems and procedures
We use data center hosting partners that are SOC-2, PCI DSS, and ISO27001 certified for security and availability, and they have built in multiple levels of redundancy.
We have implemented intrusion detection and prevention systems to identify potential security issues.
We encrypt all sensitive data with Transport Layer Security (TLS) with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), and by default.
We perform regular penetration tests to keep secure the perimeter and discover security threats.
We have implemented Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack protection system to mitigate all known attacks.
Monitoring and testing
99.95%+ systems uptime
We constantly monitor key metrics to continually improve availability and performance. Our availability status is published in real time, and our infrastructure takes advantage of elastic scale, geo-redundancy, and fault tolerance.
We execute multiple daily backups of all systems and services, local and external, with 30-day retention, for guaranteed data loss prevention.
We follow ITIL-based service operations processes: event management, incident management, problem management, request fulfillment, and knowledge management.
Our systems have built-in fault tolerance, meaning all critical systems have redundancy, so there is no single point of failure.
Our disaster recovery plan includes a backup standby data center in case of major failure of the primary site.
Our global monitoring system covers all layers of technical infrastructure, using best-in-class solutions such as New Relic, Nagios, Grafana, and Pingdom Uptime.
Our team handles requests 24/7, including weekends and holidays, with an escalation system ensuring the right people are connected and can quickly resolve issues.
Our infrastructure architecture is scalable, allowing us to easily expand and contract our resource pool for heavier loads inputs.
Fraud prevention
99% of fraud blocked + maximum transaction success
Our proprietary machine learning algorithm filters fraudulent traffic from approved, and is automatically updated with machine learning based on over a decade of game and transaction data.
We design and deploy our specialized technology to prevent chargebacks, scammer fraud, and game key theft.
We prevent fraud stemming from various payment forms, including bank card, eWallet, bank transfer, mobile, prepaid cards, and cash.
Our multi-level verification includes 3D Secure and micro-transaction verification to confirm player’s bank account access. We cross-reference cardholders’ address with card issuers’ records, for non-face-to-face transactions.
Our fraud solution goal is maximum valid transactions, for maximum income. We use multiple verification steps, including manual review for all suspicious transactions, for minimum false positives.
We use configurable prevention techniques that can address different business models and game genres. These custom parameters allow analysis of player registration dates, hours played, and in-game behavior.
We use cross-game analytics to prevent fraud detected in one game from migrating to others, enabling cross-game blacklisting to defeat serial fraudsters.
Our Region Lock feature allows region-specific adaptability, to prevent cross-border arbitrage.
We assume liability for chargebacks and fraud, as your Seller and Merchant of Record, including all legal and financial responsibility and repercussions.
