What Makes a Secure Payment Gateway for Online Businesses in 2025?

In 2025, cyber threats, regulatory updates, and rising customer expectations demand more than just basic payment processing. Security is no longer a feature — it’s a foundation.

If you're running an Indian online business — from D2C to SaaS to gaming — you need a gateway that protects every transaction and ensures trust across borders.

Let’s explore the security features that define a top-tier payment gateway in 2025, and how PlusPe delivers on every front.

🔐 What "Secure" Really Means in 2025

A truly secure gateway must deliver on three core areas:

1. Data Protection

   • End-to-end encryption (TLS 1.3+)
   • Tokenization of card, UPI, and bank details
   • Masked transaction IDs

2. Fraud Prevention

   • Real-time risk scoring
   • Bot and carding attack defense
   • Velocity control and behavior fingerprinting

3. Compliance Readiness

   • PCI-DSS Level 1 certified
   • RBI tokenization and 3DS 2.0
   • AML, KYC, GST & TDS modules
