What is PCI Compliance?
Keep your customers cards safe
PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It is a set of standards set by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council to enforce the protection of card payment information. Compliance with these standards is mandatory for all entities that process credit or debit card information.
Encrypted payment for all
The rules only apply to payment aggregators and not individual e-commerce sellers. Gaining PCI DSS compliance can be a challenging process, especially if you are seeking compliance for the first time. PCI compliance software can help with this.

Requirement 1:
“Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data.”
Requirement 2:
“Do not use vendor-supplied passwords and other security parameters.”
How V2 Cloud helps:
All V2 Cloud computers can be configured with firewalls and password management systems. V2 Cloud can easily be used as a PCI compliance software. And to make sure to respect the requirement #2, we gladly recommend using 1password.
Objective 2: Cardholder Data Security
Requirement 3:
“Protect stored cardholder data.”
Requirement 4:
“Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks.”
How V2 Cloud helps:
V2 Cloud computers support any type of encryption that works on a physical computer. You can also configure all your computers to work through a VPN for enhanced data protection during transmission.
Objective 3: Vulnerability Management Program
Requirement 5:
“Protect all systems against malware and regularly update antivirus software or programs.”
Requirement 6:
“Develop and maintain secure systems and applications.”

“Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know.”
Requirement 8:
“Identify and authenticate access to system components.”
How V2 Cloud helps:
V2 Cloud supports strong user access controls. You can set permission based on use case scenarios with configurations that support app-level, folder-level, and drive-level permissions.
Objective 5: Network Monitoring and Testing
Requirement 9:
“Restrict physical access to cardholder data.”
Requirement 10:
“Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data.”
How V2 Cloud helps:
Our cloud computers live in a virtual environment, removing the risk of any physical compromise to sensitive cardholder data. Our cloud computers also make it easy to run tracking and monitoring software for all your cloud desktop.

Cloud Computer PCI Compliance Benefits
Cloud computer is the best way to keep online transactions cyber secure
Administrative Safeguards
V2 Cloud admin dashboard controls ensure you always have strong administrative safeguards across your cloud network. Admins can enforce PCI compliance measures like password control, access permissions, and others.
Physical Safeguards
Since our desktops live in the cloud, physical breaches are virtually non-existent. Strong passwords and enforced access control will ensure all endpoints are secure.
Integrity Controls
Data integrity is a crucial requirement for PCI compliance. V2 Cloud computers make it easy to secure data in the cloud by enforceable data security controls. You can also enhance data security through installed PCI compliance software.
Access Controls
Meeting PCI compliance Objective 4 is made easier through cloud computers. You can easily enforce access controls across your entire cloud network from one centralized command center.
Audit Controls
Maintaining PCI compliance requires ongoing audits. Auditing cloud desktops is easy because they only have one access point – through the login window. As a virtualized endpoint, it is also easy to monitor all endpoint parameters for enhanced network security.
Transmission Security
Moving data to or from a virtual machine does not require physical cables running through a router in your office. As such, you can easily enforce network and transmission security using PCI compliance software like a firewall or a secure VPN.
