Restaurant POS Solutions: Are you ready for a credit card PCI security audit?
Credit card security rules required for restaurants
Hundreds of restaurants is being opposed by the credit card industry for not sufficiently protecting their diner's credit card data from potential theft, with Visa, MasterCard and financial organizations that process electronic payment over the past months are sending warning letters and conducting seminars. This forces restaurants into taking actions on how to further safeguard their diners' credit card info.
For the companies that process card transactions, tens of thousands of eateries are not complying with credit card industry security rules. So every restaurant that takes plastic is required to follow a set of security regulations instituted by Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
Data recorded by Visa indicates that since January 2005, restaurants made up around 40 percent of incidents in which criminals gained unauthorized access to credit card information -- providing the largest percentage of incidents for a merchant category.
Separately, AmbironTrustWave, a Chicago-based data security auditor for merchants, reported that 62 percent of the security violations it witnessed during the prior 18 months occurred in the restaurant industry.
These violations includes various security lapses such as the poor guarding of wireless networks -- which enable thieves to access information from the parking lot using a laptop -- as well as the lack of strictness to their systems that makes it a lot easier for any employee that attempts to access credit card information.
Consumers often are unaware when their credit card information is in danger. Although, not all security breaches are successful, and mostly, merchants do not recognize these incidents unless there is a significant likelihood that a major fraud will take place or has already been identified. Also, issuers of credit cards usually don't close a customer's account except if fraud has taken place.
Restaurant owners may have a hard time with credit card security rules, since the regulations can be difficult for smaller merchants. Hearing from the restaurant owners who thought they complied with rules, the National Restaurant Association trade group found out their systems were not functioning properly and were penalized.
Over $100,000, in some cases, is the fine for restaurants that violated credit card industry rules by keeping credit card information. In 2006, Visa fined merchants across all categories $4.6 million for security violations, an increase from the $3.4 million in fines the previous year.
Visa, believes a merchant group needs additional attention, held special security briefings with several hundred restaurants.
During the same time, the companies that process credit cards have also turned the heat on restaurants. Credit card companies have threatened to end services to those that do not follow security regulations.
Most restaurants uses software combining such features as tabulating bills, delivering orders to the kitchen and tracking reservations, credit card companies are especially worried because they cannot force software developers to follow their security rules, so they put on the pressure to restaurants. In Visa's web site, they maintain a list of software programs that meet its requirements.
But software developers that even with the best software, restaurants could be in trouble if they do not use password protection or firewalls. For software companies, they say that it's not their part to let restaurateurs know what they must do to be in compliance with credit card rules.
