TNS' Managed POS Encryption is helping BevMo! to reduce its risk exposure and simplify its compliance requirements

1. ‘BevMo! Goes Secure with
End-to-End Encryption
Transaction Network Services (TNS) is one of the leading providers of fast, secure
and cost effective data communication services for transaction-oriented applications
Background
Beverages & More! (BevMo!) was founded in 1994 and
opened six stores in the San Francisco Bay Area during that
year. Since then, BevMo! has become one of the leading
alcoholic beverage-lifestyle speciality retailers in the western
United States and among the largest in the country, with
over 100 stores throughout California and Arizona.
The TNS and VeriFone
VeriShield Protect strategy
gave us the freedom to
reallocate our capital
spending for a next-
generation POS platform
versus a compliance-
orientated and expensive
upgrade, which was a positive
for BevMo!
“
”
Business Challenge
BevMo! was facing a July 1st 2010 deadline for its payment systems
to be Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA DSS) and
PCI PED compliant. Also, the BevMo! payment network and the
500+ point-of-sale devices that it supports were fully within PCI
DSS scope, so the team faced a daunting set of tasks to ensure
that they would be able to pass their annual PCI review process.
After assessing all of the options, BevMo! concluded that a solution
that would enable it to completely remove payment card data
from its storage, processing and payment systems environment
was the most effective approach to card security, and the most
efficient path to meeting its compliance requirements.
By eliminating the transmission of
unencrypted cardholder data within
its payment network environment,
BevMo! has dramatically reduced
its risk exposure and simplified
its compliance requirements.
Because the TNS service is fully
managed within the TNS Secure
Payment Network, the only new
infrastructure that was required
was the installation of new payment
terminals. BevMo! estimated
that the selection of this solution
to assist in PCI compliance and
improve security helped them
redirect up to $1 million of capital
expenditures into other more
productive store system upgrades.
Solution
BevMo! found its answer via a
partnership between TNS and
VeriFone. The TNS Managed
POS Encryption service was
selected to assist BevMo! in
quickly implementing VeriFone’s
VeriShield Protect encryption
solution. TNS manages the
transmission of the encrypted
cardholder data, the decryption of
the data, and the delivery of the
payment transaction to BevMo!’s
payment processor. This combined
solution removed cardholder data
from BevMo!’s store systems,
dramatically improving card data
security and greatly assisting
its PCI compliance efforts.
