Hypercom Payment Software Achieves PCI PA-DSS Security Approval

Hypercom Corporation today announced that its high security SPOS32 payment software application, versions 3.0 and 3.1, are PCI PA-DSS validated and immediately available to support the Company’s Optimum countertop and mobile card payment product portfolio.

“SPOS32 is our premier, feature-rich and off-the-shelf payment application for the Optimum product portfolio; it can be widely used by our customers to help bolster their payment security.”

“The most effective security solutions, continual innovation and a singular focus on our customers are at the centerpiece of what we do. Achieving this stringent new security level further protects sensitive cardholder data, fortifies our ability to build market share and is directly in line with our continual and historic tradition of providing rigorous protection to merchants,” said T.K. Cheung, Vice President, Global Quality & Security, Hypercom Corporation. “SPOS32 is our premier, feature-rich and off-the-shelf payment application for the Optimum product portfolio; it can be widely used by our customers to help bolster their payment security.”

The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) is a global set of security requirements for software vendors who develop payment applications. PA-DSS compliant applications do not store prohibited data such as track data, sensitive authentication data, or PIN data, helping merchants and agents who use them to immediately mitigate compromises and support overall compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

This latest payment industry security milestone follows PCI PTS 2.1 security approval of Hypercom’s Optimum L4150 multilane payment terminals and L4150 Secure Keypad in January, and Hypercom’s receipt of the globally prestigious Sesame Award for its HyperSafe® Remote Key System (HRKS) last November. The Sesame Awards represent an unchallenged seal of approval in innovation and are regarded as the global standard for card manufacturers and related industries.
