    Miva Merchant 5.5 PA-DSS Update

    IMPORTANT AND CRITICAL UPDATE FOR ALL 5.5 STOREOWNERS

    Dear Miva Merchant Customer,

    As many of you already know, July 1, 2010 was the mandatory deadline for all Payment Applications to become PA-DSS Validated. This requirement impacts all payment gateway providers, swipe terminals, and shopping cart vendors like Miva Merchant.

    PA-DSS Validation is different from PCI-DSS Compliance. Both are implemented and governed by the PCI Security Council, but in order to maintain your PCI-DSS Compliance as a merchant, you must be running PA-DSS Validated (and properly configured) software.

    Miva Merchant recently completed its PA-DSS Audit and have received its Attestation of Validation (AOV) from its Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and has submitted this to the PCI Security Council for listing on their website as a PA-DSS Validated Application.

    Although the validation is now complete, it will take approximately 6 more weeks in order to be listed on their website. In the meantime, should your merchant provider need proof of validation, you should be able to use our AOV (Attestation of Validation) to satisfy the requirement. http://www.mivamerchant.com/html_ema...PA-DSS_AOV.pdf

    Please note: In order to maintain your PCI –DSS Compliance, you must utilize Miva Merchant 5.5 Production Release 7 (Fully Patched) AND follow our PA-DSS Product Installation Guide when configuring your Miva Merchant online store.

    If you need any assistance configuring your store, contact your Host or Miva Merchant at (858) 490-2570.

    As always, we are here to make your store and your customer’s experience the best possible.

    Hi Rick,

    One suggestion from our customers:

    Is their a video for the PA-DSS Checklist screen to show people how to properly setup the Password Settings and Timeouts to have those items change from Fail to PASS. The line item does try to explain what needs to be set, but some users are a bit confused and maybe a screen shot of what the sample Password Settings and Timeouts screen should be to generate a PASS on those line items would be good, perhaps on the blog?

    Also is there a video/guide/KB article for people to show them how to walk through the KeyWizard selecting the 3rd option to store the Private Key in the same server as the webserver in MivaSQL format.

    Thanks on behalf of others as well
    Eric

      Not yet, but that's a good idea. I'll get something done.

        Rick,

        I just went to the PCI Security Standards site (https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org) to the Validated Payment Applications section and Miva Merchant is still not listed as a Validated Payment Application. Is there an issue? Four and a half months seems an awfully long time for them to get around to listing MM as approved.

          They're very backlogged and we're told current average wait is 10 months.
