QS/1 installers get QIR certification

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Pharmacy technology provider QS/1 has been certified by the Qualified Integrators and Resellers Program, the company announced Monday. The company has met the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard qualifications for a secure installation and continued maintenance of payment application systems.

“Research has proven that installations not done correctly can open the door for networks to be compromised,” QS/1 manager of systems development Chris Lewis said. “QS/1 integrators are PCI-certified under the QIR program to install, configure and maintain payment systems, like QS/1’s Point-of-Sale.”

QS/1 said its staff members have been trained and tested to achieve the industry certification.

“QS/1 has a history of leading the way in pharmacy point-of-sale technology,” QS/1 president Saul Factor said. “With network breaches at an all-time high last year, we want to ensure we stay ahead by taking every step possible to protect our customers and those they serve by reducing the risk of a security breach.”
