PCI-DSS Compliance

PCI-DSS represents one of the most significant industry regulations in history, affecting every business that accepts or handles credit cards. Failure to comply can result in fines, increased processing rates and even loss of card processing privileges permanently. Many states are further considering adopting PCI-DSS into law, adding potential civil and criminal penalties as well.

PCI-DSS outlines 12 security requirements that businesses must comply with, virtually all of which pertain to the electronic handling of cardholder data. Rhythmic offers turnkey PCI-DSS compliance solutions, both for e-commerce websites and for retail POS solutions. Our experts can assess your current level of compliance, provide a plan of action to get you fully compliant, implement it, and assist you in completing self assessments.

Working with you every step of the way, our team will:

• Ensure adequate firewall, anti-virus and intrusion prevention controls are in place.
• Configure necessary security to POS terminals to prevent unauthorized employee access to cardholder data
• Apply all available security patches software and hardware systems, including firewalls, servers, workstations, terminals, and card readers.
• Develop an information security policy that defines sensitive and regulated information.
