Card Payment Services CISP
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of
security standards, developed by payment companies, Visa, American
Express, MasterCard, Discover and JCB International, to establish common
processes and precautions for handling, processing, storing and transmitting
payment card data. The PCI DSS states that it is the responsibility of every
business who processes, transmits, or stores credit and debit card
information to make sure that their system is in compliance with data
security requirements.
Radiant Systems’ Aloha POS was one of the first POS technologies to be
validated against VISA’s initial set of data security requirements in 2005 and
we have maintained payment industry validation when releasing new
versions of our software (now called Payment Application Data Security
Standard or PA DSS). With each new release of our software, we include
features to proactively meet or exceed the PA DSS. These enhancements
will continue to strengthen the security of our applications, but are just a
small piece of the numerous requirements included in the PCI DSS.
