POS systems: credit card and the PCI Security Context

day strip cards are subject to the people, both restorative and their guests have benefited from the practice of acceptance and use of credit cards and debit cards. However, given the high cost and frequency of credit card fraud, or the established card brands including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB has taken steps to protect all parties concerned.

IBM has created the magnetic strip credit cards in 1968, which became the industry standard. Of the data track is easy to read and duplicated on magnetic tape marks card, all the rules that the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council has built the first policy clearly: "Do not store track data."

Standards for the Payment Card Industry (PCI)

The three-pronged approach to the PCI Security Standards Council has taken to protect consumers, banks and retailers and restaurant owners:

* Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) – includes all entities that cardholder data, process or transmit, traders, restaurateurs, service providers, processors, etc.

Deadline date for compliance: Month January 2007 (the period is long gone)

That means – Restaurant owners, regardless of the size of their institutions must complete and submit a self-assessment PCI the acquisition of the Bank annually.

* Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA DSS) – including all applications that are used to store, process or transmit cardholder data as part of authorization or settlement. (Target = "_blank" title = "Point of Sale (POS)"> Point of Sale (POS) application developers)

The deadlines:

October 1, 2008 – The Software is consistent with the safety standards of new payment applications to be used by agents, brokers payment processors.

October 1 2009 – Complete all the claims do not meet the standards that merchants may still have in your environment is necessary.

July 1, 2010 – The requirement to use only those claims that meet the new standards.

That means – If after the deadline, distributor / Conservator does not apply PA-DSS validated, not automatically mean that your PCI assessment and, possibly, could lose its ability to accept credit cards.

* Pin Entry Device (PED) standard – covers all developing countries and aims to ensure that the number of cardholder identification PIN or personal, including sensitive information such as key residents are constantly protected by device PIN acceptance.

Deadline for compliance:

Since 1 January 2004 – All newly purchased title = "Free POS rating system"> Point of Sale (POS) PIN Entry Devices must have passed the examination by a recognized laboratory approved by Visa and Mastercard.

July 1, 2010 – provides that all soldiers deployed at point of sale (POS) devices for entering the PIN code must have passed the tests by a laboratory PCI has been recognized and approved by the PCI SSC.

That means – All vendors / restaurateurs have two years to replace old, from United Nations approved PIN entry devices.

What to do with the Payment Card Industry (PCI)

* Make sure you have a vulnerability analysis of your routine point systems sale (POS).
* Does security awareness for all staff.
* Conduct audits access systems.
* Monitor system activity logs.
* Access privileges must be removed for separate employees.
* Install software patches.
* Any threat should be taken seriously – have a contingency plan in place.

Failure to conduct Card payments with industry (PCI)

* The number of full credit card should not be stored or archived.
* Transfer of credit card information in plain should not be practiced.
* PCI is not simply to demonstrate compliance with the rules – It's about protecting your customers and your business.

Get what restaurateurs PCI

Taking into account Standby acceptance of all parts of the use of credit cards and debit cards, consumer validation Restoration is the Privacy 'personal customers is a great help for businesses:

Reputation / Image

In a competitive sector – owner a restaurant not to be named in the media that the place was a data card has been violated.

Protect your credit / debit cards accepted jurisdiction – non-compliance and / or failure may compromise the ability of a conservator credit and to accept debit payments. In many cases, payments of credit and debit the account for 80% to 90% of transactions. The loss of the ability accepting credit cards / debit thin clients.

Impact of laws on protection of state

Violation obligations of a person who discloses information in a credit card of the 40 states with laws can have a double impact on the side of the restaurant. Be outside Game with the Payment Card Industry can result in fines and court costs. Being out of the game with laws on privacy is a crime with possible serious consequences.

/ Security Policy Compliance

* Make sure your restaurant or store only use PA-DSS or PABP validated POS systems
* Make sure DEP has approved the use
* Have regular safety awareness training for staff, particularly supervisors
* You have basic controls any person who has administrative access to your system
* Ask your sign staff "Confidentiality Agreement" a
* When it comes to your PCI Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), with care and precision complete the form and when you're not comfortable with their answers, ask
* In case of PCI compliance shortfalls in the identification, developing a realistic plan to address
* Keep control of maturity in maintaining compliance
* Checks Access
* Double factor for the system and device management
* Passwords and storage Secure Password
* Monitoring the presence of attack and recording
* Check your wireless access points
* Maintain the security configuration
Network segment *
* Have a plan for responding to incidents and tests to ensure he is always ready for action
* The evaluations and environmental audits cardholder

This can be a daunting task in his first attempt, but when everything else is Instead, a PCI compliance is not an expensive task. It is good practice for companies to protect sensitive information from their customers.
