To manage cardholder data securely on Yativo, follow these best practices:


  1. Use Secure API Requests
    Always use authenticated API requests over HTTPS to protect the transmission of cardholder data.

  2. Do Not Store Sensitive Card Information
    Avoid storing sensitive card details like the full card number, CVV, or expiry date on your servers. Instead, use secure references (tokens) provided by the API.

  3. Implement Data Encryption
    Encrypt any stored customer data, such as names and partial card details, using strong encryption algorithms.

  4. Follow PCI DSS Compliance
    Adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) guidelines for handling cardholder data securely.

  5. Limit Data Access
    Restrict access to cardholder data only to authorized personnel and systems that require it for processing.

  6. Monitor for Security Alerts
    Regularly monitor your system for any suspicious activity or unauthorized access to cardholder data.


For more information on securely handling cardholder data, please refer to the Yativo API Security Guidelines.
