ParTech Inc has partnered with VeriFone Systems Inc to launch an integrated end-to-end encryption for point-of-sale applications. The integration of VeriFone’s VeriShield® Total Protect, Secured by RSA, solution and PAR EverServ® Software enables restaurant customers to make safer payment card transactions while reducing the cost of Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance for restaurant operators.

“ParTech is committed to helping our customers achieve the highest levels of payment card security and simplify the process to meet PCI compliance requirements,” said Scott Langdoc, Chief Technology Officer, ParTech, Inc. “The inclusion of VeriShield Total Protect’s end-to-end encryption with our software is a great method for our customers to simplify and enhance their payment card security. VeriShield Total Protect provides operators peace of mind by dramatically reducing their payment card security risks and easing the process of meeting PCI requirements – today and in the future.”

“VeriFone has been working with PAR for many years to integrate our payment systems with PAR POS software, and these solutions are used by many of the world’s leading restaurant brands,” said Jennifer Miles, VeriFone senior vice president – Retail, Global Security and Vertical Solutions. “PAR EverServ software customers now have the assurance of full, end-to-end encryption for all payment-card transaction data with our de facto industry standard for card data encryption. This will enable them to significantly reduce the scope of PCI compliance and its associated costs.”
