SalePoint Announces PA-DSS Validation of J-Point Cashiering Software

Dec. 25, 2009 - PRLog -- SalePoint Inc., a leading provider of software solutions for the healthcare, higher education, public sector and retail industries, today announced that it has achieved PA-DSS (Payment Application Data Security Standard) validation for its J-Point cashiering software.  

J-Point has been implemented in the healthcare, higher education, and public sectors as a front end cashiering solution integrated in real time with the enterprise billing and accounting systems.

The goal of PA-DSS validation is to help software vendors develop secure payment applications that do not store prohibited data, such as full magnetic stripe, CVV2 or PIN data and ensure that their payment applications support merchant’s compliance with the Payment Card Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).  PA-DSS is a widely accepted set of policies and standards intended to optimize the security of credit, debit, and cash card transactions and protect cardholders against the misuse of their sensitive personal information.

“We have seen the standards evolve over the last few years and appreciate the guidance and value that the validation process conducted by our independent assessment firm has provided us in making J-Point and its implementation and use even more secure,” said Larry Haworth, CEO of the company.
