Rental software provider Point-of-Rental™ Systems recently updated all of their credit card security compliance based on the latest release of Payment Application Data Security Standards (PA-DSS), version 2.0. "Stores have to use PCI-compliant software in order to accept credit cards for payment of goods and services," says Point-of-Rental's IT Support Liaison, Daniel Ruiz. "In order for our customers to be PCI-compliant they have to assess whether their payment software meets the PCI-DSS requirements. That is why we make sure the Point-of-Rental Enterprise software is up-to-date according to the latest PCI Security Council's regulations."

The PCI Security Standards Council, which began in 2006, oversees PCI Security Standards, including the Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) and PIN Transaction Security (PTS) requirements.
