RS2 Software’s latest version of its ATM management/controller has been validated under its ongoing commitment to deliver Payment Cards Industry (PCI) compliant products.

RS2, the Sliema-based software company, has had its products validated for PCI compliance since the launch of the security standards and continues to revalidate all of its products annually. The recommendation to the PCI Standard Security Council for validation was made by Sysnet Global Solutions following an on-site audit in February.

The ATM Controller module forms part of RS2’s Bankworks suite of products.

Sysnet Global Solutions is a global provider of information security assurance and compliance validation services.

The PA-DSS report of validation for the latest version of the Bankworks ATM Controller details how the security standards set by the council have been satisfied.

It gives RS2’s clients the ability to offer reliable, efficient and secure services to cardholders through their ATM networks.

The Bankworks ATM Controller provides real-time communication between ATMs and the back office.

PCI SSC is an organisation that sets security standards for organisations which handle information of major credit, debit, pre-paid, e-purse, ATM and point of sale cardholders. The PCI Security Standards include the Data Security Standard, Payment Application Data Security Standard, and PIN Transaction Security requirements.

The council is founded by five global payment brands that have an equal input and share responsibility in the PCI SCC. They are American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, Mastercard Worldwide and Visa Inc.

RS2’s solutions are focused on the Bankworks suite of application modules. Bankworks is a powerful modular high-end card management system designed to meet current and future requirements in the international payment card industry.
