Greetings!

We hope that you are getting an opportunity to enjoy the summer weather. As always, there are many changes taking place in technology. One important change you need to be aware of is, as of April 8, 2014, Microsoft is no longer supporting Windows XP. If you are currently using XP as your operating system you will need to upgrade in order to stay PCI Compliant. Please read the alert in this issue. Also in this issue of  X-Press Lines, we focus on C-tailing  technology solutions offered by NCR. NCR's C-tailing technologies help you stay ahead of the competition, and connects you with the way today's consumers shop.  We hope you enjoy reading X-Press Lines, and as always, we welcome your feedback.

ATTENTION MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP USERS


 
YOUR PCI COMPLIANCE WILL END APRIL 8, 2014

 

Microsoft announced that they will no longer support the Windows XP Operating Systems effective April 8. 2014
     

Maintaining PCI Compliance requires using a supported Operating System on your Payment Application Server and any POS/PC Clients. XP is one of the most widely used PC operating systems. If you're currently using XP, then you need to take action. Note that any element of your payment system (including the operating system) that uses XP will no longer receive security updates from Microsoft. Essentially, by twilighting XP, and without security updates, your POS payment system will be non-compliant with applicable PCI and DSS security requirements.

 

If your credit card acceptance is integrated through your point of sale system, you may be subject to significant fines and penalties. For this reason, if you request a Change Of Service and you are using XP after April 8, 2014, an upgrade will be necessary to perform that change.

  

If you have additiona questions regarding this alert, please contact NCBP at 866-819-7403 today.  Don't wait until it's too late!
