NCR's Advanced Store POS Achieves PCI Compliance
NCR's Advanced Store POS system has recently been accepted as compliant with the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). NCR's Advanced Store POS system version 5.4 of the POS system protects consumers' credit card information from potential security breaches, while providing a multitude of merchandising capabilities such as pricing and promotions; multi-channel support and CRM functionality; returns management and mobile retailing.
PA-DSS was created to help software vendors develop secure payment applications that do not store prohibited data and assist merchants in their compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
The use of PCI-accepted solutions is a must for businesses that accept credit cards, according to David Taylor, security expert and founder of PCI Knowledge Base. "The major card brands now require that banks processing payment card transactions only do business with merchants who use certified payment solutions or who have been certified themselves."
The validation of NCR Advanced Store's adherence to the PA-DSS was performed by Trustwave, a data security and compliance firm that holds Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) designation from the PCI SSC.
