Data Security - Petroleum and Convenience

The Radiant Global Petroleum and Convenience Retail Division takes the security of our systems very seriously.  We are committed to working together with our clients and partners to ensure the most secure transaction systems possible.  The baseline for this commitment is validation of our systems as meeting the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA DSS). In fact we were among the first point-of-sale providers to the industry to achieve validated status under the predecessor to the PA DSS.

We strongly recommend that each customer work closely with their Radiant account team to develop a migration strategy to the appropriate PA DSS validated release. For those clients without a current support and maintenance contract, Radiant will provide a plan to upgrade those sites to a PA DSS validated software release.  The risks of not moving to a validated release include potential exposure of personal credit card numbers to outside entities and potential fines from the card companies, as well as other potential liabilities. For more information about how you can purchase one of these versions of software, please contact:
