Industries we support in Nevada

Gaming vendors and smaller licensees

Licensees extend Regulation 5.260 to the companies that supply them. Northwind builds the security your contract requires.

Hospitality and card-accepting businesses

Nevada makes PCI compliance law for businesses that accept cards. We keep payment systems separate from the rest of your network.

How support reaches Nevada offices

Support for Nevada comes from our Boise office. The same team provides IT for nonprofits. See the full service area.

We monitor Nevada systems continuously and run the help desk on Pacific hours. Technicians handle hands-on work at your locations.

Nevada’s card security and gaming rules

Last reviewed October 12, 2026. This section summarizes state law and is not legal advice.

Card security and encryption
Nevada law requires every business that accepts payment cards to meet the current Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Other businesses must encrypt personal data sent outside their systems or stored on devices that leave the office.
Northwind secures your payment systems, encrypts the data that leaves your office and keeps the records that show it.
Gaming Regulation 5.260
Regulation 5.260 requires gaming licensees to assess their security against a recognized framework such as NIST or CIS. Licensees often extend the same requirement to their vendors by contract.
Northwind assesses your security against the framework and builds the plan your licensee or reviewer expects.

Do you provide IT support in Las Vegas and Reno?

Yes. Las Vegas and Reno businesses use our help desk on Pacific hours, and our technicians work on site at your locations.

Does Nevada require PCI compliance by law?

Yes. NRS 603A.215 requires every business that accepts payment cards to meet the current PCI standard. In most other states, the standard is only a contract term.

We supply a Nevada casino. Does Regulation 5.260 apply to us?

Yes, if your contract says so. Licensees often pass the regulation to vendors by contract, and Northwind builds the security it calls for.
