Know What Data You Store and How It’s Encrypted

When it comes to POS security, it’s important for retailers to perform a data audit in order to know what sensitive information is stored and accessed through business systems, including  payment card information, personally identifiable information (PII), personal health information (PHI), and accounting information. Beyond that, retailers should understand how data, whether “at rest” or “in motion” is encrypted. Reputable vendors will be able to provide you with proper documentation and security certifications demonstrating encryption methods that are PCI compliant.
