PCI Compliance
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) – an association of card issuers including Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover – requires all merchants that process, transmit or store cardholder data to meet a set of Data Security Standards (DSS). Normally, achieving these standards requires an enormous investment of both time and money from merchants.
Riva has various solutions that enable merchants to achieve and go beyond PCI compliance because they no longer process, transmit or store cardholder data.
An overview of the PCI DSS is below:

- Requirement 1: Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data
- Requirement 2: Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters
Protect Cardholder Data
- Requirement 3: Protect stored cardholder data
- Requirement 4: Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks
Maintain a Vulnerability Management Program
- Requirement 5: Use and regularly update anti-virus software
- Requirement 6: Develop and maintain secure systems and applications
Implement Strong Access Control Measures
- Requirement 7: Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know
- Requirement 8: Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access
