QS/1 receives PA-DSS data security certification

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Healthcare software solutions company QS/1 this week announced that it had received a certification for the data security of its point-od-sale system. The company was certified under version 3.1 of the Payment Data Security Standard (PA-DSS). 

 

Companies that receive PA-DSS certification have to create an application that doesn’t store such information as a credit card’s magnetic stripe, CVV or PIN. QS/1’s certification covers processing new EMV chip cards as well as end-to-end encryption of credit card data and tokenizing card data for customers who store it for recurring charges. 

 

“Too many times we heard about retailers dealing with massive security breaches that compromise credit card data,” said Sonny Anderson, QS/1’s VP systems and development. “Taking the steps to certify on the new 3.1 standard puts QS/1’s point-of-sale (POS) system at the forefront of credit card security. Another convenience for tech-savvy customers is that Apple Pay and Google Wallet are now supported and can be used to make payments.”
