What is MICROS’ responsibility relating to credit card security?
As a Payment Application Vendor and not a Merchant, MICROS is responsible for developing its products that process, store, or transmit cardholder data as part of authorization or settlement in compliance with the PCI PA-DSS standards. MICROS has been developing its products in compliance with the Visa PABP standards since Visa introduced the PABP program. Now that this program has been transitioned to the PCI Security Standards Council, MICROS develops its products as per the PCI PA-DSS and has its products validated by the PCI-SSC as PA-DSS compliant.
