PA-DSS requirement 8.2

Use only necessary and secure services, protocols, components, and dependent software and hardware, including those provided by third partie

Maitre’D has very few dependencies in regards to 3rd party software, services or protocols. These will vary depending on the modules that are used.

Hardware dependencies

Maitre’D has no specific hardware dependency.

Software dependencies

EFT Client software

When an integrated solution is in use, a 3rd party client software or “middleware” needs to be used. Maitre’D will pass the credit card information to the middleware for processing. Information coming back from the acquirer/processor takes the opposite way, from the internet to the middleware, and then back to Maitre’D.

Supported EFT middleware for integrated credit card payments:

• Datacap DSIClientX version 3.86 (File version 3.8.6.0, dated December 3rd, 2012)

Service dependencies

Crypkey License
