Payment Risks (Threats) and How to Mitigate Them
Blog post from Basis Theory
Payment risks often arise less from dramatic cyberattacks than from cumulative operational issues such as chargebacks, processing fees, and declining transaction completion rates. Reducing these risks requires protecting stored payment data with tokenization layered over encryption, which replaces sensitive information with non-reversible tokens held in secure vaults. For data moving through online systems, merchants can limit exposure by using third-party payment forms and vaulting services rather than directly collecting customer information. Businesses can also avoid payment outages by automating transaction routing across multiple payment service providers, since any single processor may alter or end service. Finally, optimization tools can select the most cost-effective provider for each transaction, improving approval rates while reducing fees across different customer segments and markets.
