PCI: Terminal Security Audit

The risk of compromises to customer data is at an all time high. Organized crime has clearly set its sights on the vulnerability in the retail payments process and has targeted credit card terminals and PIN pad devices as easy sources to obtain valuable consumer data. Evidence of tampering and security breaches to marquee retailers across the country are mounting weekly. Recently one retailer has estimated the cost of their security breach will exceed $10 million dollars.

However, retailers can proactively take steps now to minimize their risk of exposure and meet Payment Association Best Practices (PAPB) for safeguarding consumer data. VeriFone's Secure Terminal Audit service is designed to help retailers deter the criminal element by running either scheduled or random inspections on their credit card terminals and PIN pad devices.
