Retail Best Practices: Tomax Retail.net Facilitates PCI Compliance At 24 Hour Fitness
Fitness Facilities Complete Software Upgrade Enabling Payment Application Best Practices
Tomax is pleased to announce that 24 Hour Fitness has completed a major upgrade to Retail.net v5.3, enabling enterprisewide PCI compliance with Visa U.S.A. Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) as validated against the Payment Application Best Practices. Tomax Retail.net, a comprehensive retail management software suite, was certified with Visa's Validated Payment Applications in 2006. The CISP validation is awarded to solutions that demonstrate secure payment applications that, when implemented in a CISP-compliant environment, will minimize the potential for security beaches and the potential for damaging fraud resulting from these breaches.
"We are committed to protecting our customer information and privacy. Tomax' diligence in developing and enhancing their retail management solutions to enable PCI compliant cardholder data management and security enables us to confidently meet industry standards," said Bill Donahue, Senior Vice President/CIO at 24 Hour Fitness.
Retail.net has also been certified as PCI/DSS compliant and conforming to Payment Applications Best Practices (PABP) by SecurityMetrics Corporation, an internet security and PCI / DSS best practices auditing firm. The PCI/DSS standards apply to the recording, transmission, retention and access of consumer cardholder data. "The Tomax team has a solid understanding of software security and industry best practices," according to Gary Glover, SecurityMetric's CISSP Sr. Security Analyst.
