AcuLink™ Remote Access Service

Connecting remotely to your point-of-sale and cardholder data environment is an essential part of running your business. However, secure remote access solutions pose increased risk if they are not used according to PCI DSS requirements.

Acumera developed AcuLink™ Remote Access Service to provide merchants with PCI-compliant and high-speed remote access to the retail industry’s leading point-of-sale systems to support fast and easy-to-use remote connectivity between their POS and its remote support infrastructure.

AcuLink Remote Access Service ensures the following to meet PCI DSS requirements: 

• A secure remote connection that remains PCI-compliant during each connection.
• Manually connect remote sessions from both the POS and the AcuVigil Dashboard.
• Automatically disconnect remote sessions after a pre-defined period of inactivity.
