Apriva POS Payment Industry Compliance

• PCI-DSS

The payment card associations established PCI (Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council) Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) to protect sensitive cardholder information.  Apriva was one of the first service providers to be certified under these standards, and Apriva updates its certification with the PCI standards annually.  www.pcisecuritystandards.org

• PA-DSS

The Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) extends the PCI-DSS standards by defining how they apply to payment applications.  PA-DSS defines criteria for evaluating the security of payment solutions that are sold or provided, and that are implemented and operated within the merchant's organization.  These standards address the security characteristics of the application, as well as the ability of the application to be operated in a secure manner by the merchant or end-user.
