CMDI Data Security

The wonders of big data go hand-in-hand with the responsibility of serious data security. We understand that the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data is vital to your organization’s success.

Keeping Data Safe

CMDI keeps your fundraising and donor data secure using the standards established by the PCI Security Council. When credit card numbers are received in hard copy form, they are handled in secure and monitored environments. Physical credit card numbers are blacked-out and stored safely after transactions are processed through Crimson’s integration with Anedot. Additionally, credit card numbers are never written or stored in our software or hardware, and extensive penetration tests are conducted on our systems as well.
