SymPOS integration with Ocius Sentinel – Beyond compliance

MCR Systems have launched a new SymPOS integrated card payment solution, which rises to the challenge of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance.

Ocius Sentinel, which is already approved by the major UK acquiring banks, is the UK's first card payment processing solution to offer true end-to-end dual encryption of cardholder data. It tackles the dangers associated with the capture, transmission and storage of card data by effectively removing the need to store the cards unique security information on a merchant's network.

Ocius Sentinel uses a combination of two of the strongest cryptography techniques available to encrypt the data at the point of card data capture. As sensitive cardholder data is effectively removed from the merchant's system, it can significantly reduce the cost and scope of achieving and maintaining PCI DSS compliance for merchants.

Not only does Ocius Sentinel dual encrypt the cardholder data, but it can also provide additional features to further guard against and prevent the capture of cardholder information in the event of a malicious attack.
