Financial institutions benefit from software that meets the latest industry standards
DULUTH, Ga., 2016-Jun-14 — /EPR Retail News/ — NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction technologies, announced today that its NCR Payment Suite, which includes the Authentic transaction processing and Fractals fraud detection software, has been accepted as compliant with the latest PA-DSS standard (version 3.1) by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).
NCR’s new compliance certificates cover Authentic 4.1.04 and Fractals 4.2.00 and mean that NCR customers can be confident of meeting the latest standards in protecting sensitive payment card information. Fractals and Authentic are used by banks, processors, PSPs, merchants and card networks around the world. This compliance is very important to customers of both solutions, who know their products provide the intrinsic support needed to help them maintain their own compliance with PCI DSS. Fractals is one of only a few fraud solutions to be PA-DSS compliant, and is the one that has been certified the longest. These solutions are listed by PCI SSC on its website.
“NCR is committed to helping our customers protect their customers,” said Poul Laursen, Software Engineering Director for payments and enterprise fraud at NCR Financial Services. “Standards such as PA-DSS and, in turn, PCI DSS, are critical tools to protect the security of card data. Achieving certifications involves a detailed review covering the product functions as well as the entire development methodology.”
