Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance
and RDPWin

April, 2008

Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is different for every RDP customer based on the volume of credit card transactions. RDP software may not be PCI compliant for all customers.  There are many PCI compliance requirements that must be satisfied which have nothing to do with the RDP system. Every RDP customer must carefully examine the full PCI requirements.  It is the responsibility of each customer to assure full PCI compliance.  RDP is NOT LIABLE for damages or fines related to any level of credit card security.  RDP offers no assistance, guarantees, or advice regarding PCI compliance, and cannot be held liable for any damages resulting from customer failure to comply with full PCI compliance standards.

RDP Suggests...

  1. Read and implement all non-RDP requirements, some of which are outlined on Visa’s website at Visa Compliance Validation.
  2. Upgrade to the current version of all RDP products.
  3. Upgrade to the current version of Southern Datacomm Software or contact SDC's Technical Support at (866) 709-7880.
  4. Review data encryption documentation and select Level 3 or 4, which may or may not be PCI compliant, based on your credit card transaction level.
