Teleflora Point of Sales PA-DSS Implementation Guide
Scope and Definitions
In order to reduce retail credit card fraud, Visa and other credit card companies have introduced a new program called “PA-DSS”, Payment Application – Data Security Standards. This new program specifies a number of policies and guidelines needed to maintain a “secure” Point of Sale environment.
Teleflora has made a number of application and procedural changes in order to ensure that your Dove
POS system is compliant with these new PA-DSS requirements. However, to remain compliant, you will be responsible for maintaining some procedures as well.
This document serves to provide a number of “Dove POS Specific” applications to the various Visa PA-
DSS requirements. Please refer to Visa’s “Payment Applications Best Practices” document, as well as the associated “Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard” document for full details on compliance regulations.
Following are definitions for some terms used throughout this document.
