Point-of-sale systems: Cloud application receives BSI certificate

You are here:

D-TRUST and Deutsche Fiskal have received certification for their cloud application. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) thus confirms: The Fiskal Cloud is suitable for the implementation of the German Cash Security Ordinance (KassenSichV).

Um Steuerbetrug zu vermeiden, müssen Einzelhändler dafür Sorge tragen, ihre Kassensysteme manipulationssicherer zu machen. Aus der KassenSichV und den zugehörigen Technischen Richtlinien geht klar hervor, dass eine Technische Sicherheitseinrichtung (TSE) verpflichtend zu „verbauen“ ist, um jeden Geschäftsvorfall zu protokollieren und zu signieren.

Despite the specifications on how software and cash register manufacturers must design such a TSE, many questions remained unanswered after the regulation was published. Hardware, software or hybrid solution? TSE via USB stick? What effort does that mean for archiving? Although cloud solutions were already being promoted, it was uncertain whether they would even be legally secure.

"We are pleased and proud that our completely new solution on a state-of-the-art technological basis is going to market as the first certified TSE cloud. As a complement to the hardware solution, we thus enable a technology-open implementation of the cash register law, which is desired by many customers," says Dr. Kim Nguyen, Managing Director of D-TRUST GmbH.

 

 

What does this mean for Consult-SK?

With the official certification of the BSI, the first step has now been taken, and other providers will follow. For us as CSK, this is another milestone with our current and future customers who will be using a cloud TSE. Our own tool -Receipt4S – das als zentraler Einstiegspunkt zu allen relevanten Cash register data dient, ist mit jeder TSE-Lösung kompatibel. Das heißt: Receipt4S unterstützt in jedem Fall die Zugriffs- und Archivierungsszenarien von Deutsche Fiskal und auch die unseres Partners, der fiskaly.

If the processing of cash register data involves SAP-internal transactions (cash book, SD billing, etc.), then we offer our AddOn on request directly TSE included an. In this case, we benefit from a partnership with the snap consulting. Our considerations go even further, however, because a specific customer group is faced with the problem that was not initially considered at all in terms of KassenSichV conformity: waste disposal companies must also Cash business on the scales tamper-proof recording! For this purpose we offer Receipt4S in a Lite version.

The high level of standardization of our application, supplemented by synergy-generating partnerships, allows us to conveniently implement the topic of KassenSichV for our customers.
