Is MICROS required by law to develop its products according to the PCI PA-DSS standards?
No, these are not state or federal laws. However, one of the 200+ PCI-DSS requirements for Merchants is to use a PA-DSS compliant payment processing application. So, MICROS customers who wish to be PCI-DSS compliant should be using a PA-DSS compliant version of our Point-Of-Sale or Property Management System products.
