PCI Compliance Configuration

The DSView 3 software may be configured as Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant. When PCI compliance is enabled, three settings are affected:

•Browser caching of secure web pages is disabled. This setting prevents the potential loss of confidential client data; however, this setting may not work effectively if older browsers are used.

•The browser prompt to save passwords is disabled. This setting prevents the potential loss of confidential client data.

•Weak SSL ciphers are disabled. This setting prevents the potential loss of data integrity.

These three settings may be enabled at once on the Global Properties page, or may be enabled/ disabled individually.
