Risks of POS systems going offline:

Lost revenue as
transactions fail.

Sales stop immediately when payments can’t be processed, directly impacting top-line revenue.

Checkout delays &
cart abandonment.

Long lines and stalled checkouts frustrate customers, leading to walkouts and lost sales.

Unattended systems
go offline.

Self-service stations, ticketing machines, and pumps become unusable without connectivity.

Backup dial lines fail.
No fallback processing.

Legacy POTS-based backups no longer work, removing a critical safety net during outages.

Limited visibility &
slow issue resolution.

Lack of real-time monitoring can delay detection and extend downtime.

Manual workarounds
increase errors & costs.

Staff must revert to manual processes, slowing operations and increasing the risk of mistakes.

Governing bodies for POS systems

Governing bodies for POS systems: government, security certification, PCI SSC, payment networks, and EMVCo

Government & Regulatory Bodies

Government agencies enforce consumer protection, data privacy, and financial regulations, ensuring POS systems meet legal requirements for security and compliance.

Hardware & Security Certification Bodies (e.g., UL, PCI-PTS)

Certification bodies validate that POS devices meet strict security standards, ensuring terminals can securely process transactions and protect against tampering and fraud.

Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC)

PCI governs POS security by defining how payment data is stored, processed, and transmitted. Through standards like PCI DSS, it ensures cardholder data is protected across all transactions.

Payment Processors & Acquirers

Processors and acquiring banks connect POS systems to payment networks, certifying environments, enforcing compliance, and enabling transaction authorization and settlement.

Payment Networks (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover)

Payment networks define how transactions are authorized, processed, and settled, enforcing compliance and determining whether POS systems can participate in the payments ecosystem.

EMVCo (Chip & Contactless Standards)

EMVCo sets global standards for secure card-present transactions, defining how chip cards and terminals interact to prevent fraud and ensure consistent payment experiences.
