TriniTEQ, a developer of handheld hospitality point of sale systems,
announced that its WaiterPAD system has completed Payment Application
Best Practices (PABP) compliance testing performed by information
security assessment and data protection company, Digital Resources
Group (DRG).
As a Validated Payment Application, WaiterPAD now allows restaurant
patrons to securely pay at the table.
Paying at the table allows servers to swipe credit cards tableside, in
the presence of the consumer, preventing the credit card from leaving
the table. In addition to enabling secure tableside payment, WaiterPAD
is a complete handheld ordering system designed for hospitality. First
deployed in 1999, WaiterPAD is used by thousands of major restaurants,
bars, cafes, theaters and sporting venues around the world.
As a Visa-designated Qualified Payment Application Security Company,
DRG conducted security testing to validate WaiterPAD's PABP compliance.
Jim Cowing, CISSP, QPASP and Managing Director of Digital Resources
Group, said, "DRG's testing covered all aspects of the application that
stores, processes or transmits payment information including the
handheld and wireless system. Successful completion of PABP is a
noteworthy accomplishment for TriniTEQ. PABP validation demonstrates
the WaiterPAD application has met all requirements that the Payment
Card Industry has established to ensure merchants are using a secure
application that protects their customer's cardholder data."
"Hospitality security requirements continue to rise in response to
sophisticated and often well publicized security breaches," said James
Vote, CTO, TriniTEQ. "PABP compliance validation is an important
milestone given WaiterPAD's design as high-profile hospitality
enterprises' handheld of choice for reliable ordering, up-selling and
now secure payment at the table."
TriniTEQ is a provider of WaiterPAD handheld POS and WaiterPOS software
solutions for restaurants, bars, hotels, theaters, sporting stadia, and
other service markets.
