Data security is a vital consideration, but unfortunately it is often overlooked. There are three important aspects to ensuring the data security of your business:
- Password access: controlling who can access what parts of the system
- Data Stability: protecting data from system crashes
- Data reliability and accountability: fixing mistakes and tracking changes
Permission Security
Access security is a critically important feature of any software, and SpeedyPOS has implemented it at every level. Every user is issued a password, and their access to all areas of the system is dictated by the clearances you assign their password. Access privileges can be controlled for every function, allowing you to grant access to functions for your staff need to do their jobs - and no more.
For example, users can be set up to allow them to perform front-end functions, such as creating sales and invoices, and inventory inquiries, but keeping them out of the sales and profitability reports. Users can also be authorised to view but not edit certain information. Access control is easily handled through an intuitive security panel.
Data Security
SpeedyPOS provides many sophisticated tools for data recovery in the unlikely event of a system crash, power outage or other unscheduled interruption. Often these tools can allow you to continue right from where you left off instead of having to re-enter the days work. SpeedyPOS offers a layered approach to data security too - we don't rely on just one method, but several different techniques that overlap each other. If one fails another will usually catch it.
Audit Trails
SpeedyPOS includes the best of two worlds, offering the ability to edit your data, and track the changes made. If you make a mistake you can easily adjust it, correct invoices, payments, bills or cheques. To protect your business all transactions are posted to a secure audit trail that will report the date, time, terminal number, user, invoice number, customer name and dollar amount for each transaction. This gives you the ability to fix mistakes and helps prevent fraud. (SpeedyPOS PLUS only)
