Cloud-based POS hosting relies on a range of security components to ensure that your data is encrypted and safely stored. Through Lightspeed, your retail store or restaurant benefits from that protection and the data processed through it is guarded by measures like authentication, advanced firewalls, intrusion detection, event logging, internal firewalls, access control and encryption.
Both Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform’s data centers are built with the highest standards for privacy and data security. These cloud service providers powering Lightspeed supplement these protections with physical security measures such as video surveillance, security guards, fencing, security feeds and intrusion detection technology, making their data centers far more secure than almost all on-site data centers.
