Two POS Protect + firewall options for POS systems
CHS Payment Solutions offers merchants two POS Protect + provider options for integrated POS systems: PDI and Scale Computing (formerly Acumera).
POS Protect + helps protect point-of-sale (POS) and in-store data while supporting reliable credit card processing. Both options include:
- Managed firewall
- PCI portal support for SAQ assistance and external vulnerability scans
- Certified managed network service provider (MNSP) support for secure POS help desk remote access
- Cellular backup to help keep credit card processing available during an internet outage
While both providers offer the same core program features, the hardware approach differs:
| POS Protect + with PDI | POS Protect + with Scale Computing |
|---|---|
| Includes leased hardware as part of the program | Requires an upfront hardware purchase |
| May be a fit for merchants who prefer a leased-hardware model | May be a fit for merchants who prefer to own their hardware |
| Hardware must be purchased through an authorized Scale Computing reseller |
Merchants can choose the POS Protect + provider that best aligns with their business needs and hardware preferences.
