Credit card security

PCI standards require that you protect credit card information in multiple ways. You must protect data during storage and transmission. With a hosted payment solution, such as CenPOS, your credit card processor stores and protects your customer cardholder data (CHD) in their servers, so you no longer need to store or managed CHD locally in your systems.

In addition, because the CHD is input directly into CenPOS’ system and not into Distribution SX.e, other users do not have access to the data.

You can still limit operator access to credit card-related modules using SA Operator Setup-Function Security. For example, you may want to limit operator access to Customer Credit Card Setup.

Note: Keep in mind that, because your operators are handling cardholder data (CHD), you must still meet other PCI requirements pertaining to data access.
