A central element of the RKSV is the use of a security device that is to be used for receipt signature.
Special data exports such as a DEP7 report must be presented on request and a connection to the FinanzOnline portal of the Federal Ministry of Finance (FON-BMF) must be established - for the purpose of data exchange.
By using efsta EFR solutions, you are RKSV compliant - this means:

The RKSV (Registrierkassensicherheitsverordnung) is a regulation in Austria that requires companies to use electronic cash registers to ensure tamper protection for cash transactions. The aim of the RKSV is to prevent tax evasion and ensure a complete record of business transactions. The RKSV ensures that all relevant data is recorded in a tamper-proof and traceable manner in order to guarantee tax transparency.
The RKSV (Registrierkassensicherheitsverordnung) uses several technical and organizational measures to prevent data manipulation and ensure the integrity of the recorded business transactions.
From 1 April 2017, all POS systems must have a technical security device (signature creation unit - SCE). These signature creation units can be purchased from a certification service provider that offers qualified signature certificates. Alternatively, the Prime-Sign certificate can be purchased directly from efsta.
A certified security device to fulfill the RKSV (Austrian fiscal law) is a technical component to ensure the tamper-proof nature of the recorded transactions. This security device is crucial for the implementation of the RKSV and essentially consists of a signature creation unit, which ensures that each transaction is digitally signed and thus protected against manipulation. Only signature solutions certified in Austria may be used.
