Secure Mobile Tablet with Integrated PCI-DSS Compliance

Whether its reducing lines or launching curbside collection, mobile POS tablets can offer real benefits in dealing with business peaks, staff productivity, customer satisfaction, and reducing costs. But this approach needs to be implemented in such a way as does not demand extensive and expensive dedicated infrastructure, and, most importantly, in a secure environment which protects customer data and meets compliance requirements.

“

Virtualization of our key upsell platform is a smart way to reduce the number of devices at customer checkout and deliver a far leaner and efficient IT footprint in the store.

Why is it so difficult to run POS on a tablet?

Technically, it is not difficult to run a Windows application like a POS on a tablet with an Intel or AMD processor. However, it is very difficult to convince a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) that POS software running on a portable device connected over Wi-Fi is secure and compliant with PCI-DSS v3.2.

How does Virtual POS help with Mobile POS on a Tablet?

With virtual POS, it is possible to deploy a POS application within an in-store server that is physically secure and is connected to the local payment LAN in a manner that is PCI-DSS compliant. To enable mobile POS on a tablet, it is only necessary to put a remote desktop on the tablet and enable secure (TLS) access to the POS application on the payment LAN. If a tablet hosts peripherals, it is necessary to have a secure peripheral forwarding application on the tablet too.
