Recent requirements by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council led by VISA and MasterCard have been put in place to promote enhanced payment card security and decrease fraud for merchants that process credit and debit requirements. These requirements (known as the PCI Data Security Standard, or PCI-DSS) also extend to software vendors such as Lightspeed, in the form of a Payment Application Data Security Standard, or PA-DSS.To ensure data security in line with the requirements laid out by PCI-DSS requirements, Lightspeed recommends the use of a VPN with two-factor authentication to facilitate remote access to Lightspeed OnSite. For information about VPNs, contact a network specialist in your area. PA-DSS requirements prohibit Lightspeed from providing assistance about network configuration or remote access.After you install OnSite for the first time a Setup Assistant appears that guides you through the first steps of your configuration.
