BV Commerce 5.7
I'm happy to announce that BV Commerce 5.7 will be released on Friday, April 30th. This service pack has been a long time in the making and will bring PCI compliance to BV Commerce 5. The entire process has taken far longer than we originally anticipated but it was well worth the effort.

The service pack adds a new PCI Audit Log, a new Encryption System, security changes to the setup process and overall performance improvements. The PCI Audit log keeps track of system events and user actions for a minimum of one year allowing administrators to keep a close eye on how their store is operated. The new encryption system adds a double encryption layer and allows merchants to easily change encryption keys on a regular basis if needed. Encryption keys can also be stored outside of your website folder for more protection. The service pack also brings several performance increases including an updated URL rewriter which can improve page load times by more than 100% in many cases.

PCI Compliance Update.
BV Commerce 5 will be PCI compliant on April 30th with the release of the 5.7 service pack.

BV Commerce 5.6 and earlier, including BVC 2004, are not PCI compliant and will not be PCI compliant. If your store is running on an older version of BV Commerce you should plan to upgrade to at least version 5.7 before the end of June 2010. After June, VISA and the PCI Council require that all merchants processing credit cards use a PCI compliant solution.
