User Authentication: Users authenticate themselves with unique login credentials, such as usernames and passwords. User authentication helps restrict access to authorised personnel only and prevents unauthorised individuals from tampering with or accessing the system.
Role-Based Access Control: Role-based access control, where different users have different levels of access and permissions based on their roles within the organisation ensures that users can only perform actions and access information that is necessary for their job responsibilities.
Secure Payment Processing: EPOS systems integrate with secure payment processors that comply with industry standards such as Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). These processors ensure that cardholder data is handled securely during payment transactions, reducing the risk of data breaches and fraud.
Regular Software Updates: Regular software updates and patches are released regularly to address security vulnerabilities and ensure system integrity. It is essential to keep the EPOS software up to date with the latest security patches to mitigate potential risks.
Audit Trails and Logging: Maintain detailed audit trails and logging mechanisms to track and record user activities, system events, and transaction history. These logs can assist in identifying any suspicious or unauthorised activities and aid in forensic analysis if security incidents occur.
UK Data Centres: Servers are located within enterprise-grade hosting facilities across the UK, that employ robust physical security controls to prevent physical access to the servers they house. These controls include 24/7/365 monitoring and surveillance, on-site security staff and regular ongoing security audits.
