Hypercom Payment Software Achieves PCI PA-DSS Security Approval

High security electronic transaction solutions provider Hypercom Corporation has announced that its high security SPOS32 payment software application, versions 3.0 and 3.1, are PCI PA-DSS validated and immediately available to support the company's Optimum countertop and mobile card payment product portfolio.

The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) is a global set of security requirements for software vendors who develop payment applications.Õ PA-DSS compliant applications do not store prohibited data such as track data, sensitive authentication data, or PIN data, helping merchants and agents who use them to immediately mitigate compromises and support overall compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

This latest payment industry security milestone follows PCI PTS 2.1 security approval of Hypercom's Optimum L4150 multilane payment terminals and L4150 Secure Keypad in January, and Hypercom's receipt of the globally prestigious Sesame Award for its HyperSafe Remote Key System (HRKS) last November.ÕThe Sesame Awards represent an unchallenged seal of approval in innovation and are regarded as the global standard for card manufacturers and related industries.

Hypercom's popular new Optimum product portfolio includes the T4205, T4210, T4220 and T4230 countertop and M4100, M4230 and M4240 mobile card payment terminals.
