Protect Card Data. Reduce Fraud.

EdgeShield Components
We'll get your pharmacy customers accepting EMV chip cards while insulating developers from complex device driving and card brand certifications.
OpenEdge’s proprietary encryption renders cardholder data unreadable, encrypted at the device.
Cardholder data is replaced by digital “tokens” based on this technology. Sensitive data is stored in the secure OpenEdge vault rather than in the POS environment.
Payment applications are rendered out-of scope with Edge Shield, eliminating cumbersome PCI validation requirements.
EdgeShield includes the PCI ASSURE® program to help pharmacists simplify PCI compliance with online access to security self-assessment questionnaires, network scans, and custom security profiles.
