Cost savings as the software migration does not require hardware replacement
Parking software that is compliant with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) to avoid the risk of credit card data security breach, malware and financial penalties
Please be advised that if using 3M Federal APD parking software (EFMS or Scan Net) to process credit card transactions the required 6* of the PCI guidelines are not being met and as a result your software is prone to data security breaches, malware and high financial penalties:
The non-compliance fines by credit card companies and acquirers can reach $100,000 per month with credit card data security breach fines amounting up to $90 per cardholder
According to the Ponemon Institute’s Cost of Data Breach Study, the cost of an average data breach in 2016 was $7.01 million
The lack of software maintenance of 3M software (Scan Net and EFMS) may also lead to risks such as viruses (i.e., WannaCry), data leaks and non-compatibility with MasterCard’s recent BIN range change
As Canada’s parking industry leader Precise ParkLink is committed to deliver secure and integrated parking technology that continues to propel the Canadian parking market forward.
