A credit card data breach can be devastating to a restaurant, leaving the operator or franchisor financially liable and forced to rebuild a damaged reputation. That’s why we made the decision to submit the entire SpeedLine product to a rigorous credit card security audit.
In August 2008, information security assessor Coalfire Systems completed a Visa Payment Application Best Practices (PABP) report on validation for SpeedLine 6.
And this is critical:
Some POS companies have chosen not to make the sizable investment required to earn PABP validation. Others have taken a short-term approach, submitting only the payment processing components of their software for validation.
At SpeedLine, we chose instead to give our customers the assurance of PCI compliance with the more stringent July 2010 requirements by validating the entire SpeedLine POS product line. This involved an intensive third-party audit of all of our products, peripheral applications, and all company processes relating to product development, training, and data security.
The SpeedLine software has been secured and verified top to bottom. Safeguards are in place at multiple levels to prevent unauthorized access to confidential credit card data, and training and documentation is available to help you install SpeedLine securely as a key component of a PCI-compliant restaurant operation.
SpeedLine has also published a PABP Implementation Guide that outlines the steps required to install and maintain SpeedLine in a compliant manner. SpeedLine customers may download this guide from our secure SpeedLine INSITE customer portal, or request a copy by emailing support@speedlinesolutions.com.
