Presentation of our cloud-based fiskaly TSS at the DFKA workshop on the 5th of July in Berlin Many questions remain unanswered when it comes to
The practical step-by-step guide for cash register manufacturers for implementing the cash register regulation — KassenSichV.
We show how the TSS certification process runs and explain why the time is currently the biggest challenge of the KassenSichV in this context.
The cash register security regulation — Kassensicherungsverordnung (KassenSichV) serves to protect against manipulation of basic digital records in companies. It imposes the technical requirements for electronic recording and security systems, such as POS systems.
From 1.1.2020 cash registers in Germany have to be provided with a tamper protection — a so-called technical safety system (TSS).The exact specifications for the technical safety system are defined in the technical guideline BSI TR-03153 . Find out more about it from our blog article on the TSS.
The regulation originates from the § 146a AO (tax code), which standardizes the regulations for the bookkeeping and for the records with electronic recording systems. The Kassensicherungsverordnung (KassenSichV) specifies together with § 146a AO the requirements of the GoBD — the principles of proper accounting. It defines the security of digital POS systems and regulates:
It also includes rules for the requirements for to-be-issued receipts and the costs of the certification.
For each business case, the electronic recording system must start a logging which records the following data:
Providers of cash registers, point-of-sale systems and software or recording systems which record business cases (e.g., accounting programs and similar) are directly affected by the KassenSichV. They must take action now and prepare their products and systems as soon as possible for complying with the new regulation.
In a broader sense, all entrepreneurs who work with these cash register and recording systems are also affected. They have to make sure that the systems or software they use are really in compliance with the KassenSichV.
According to BMF, a physical identity of the security module and storage medium is not required. This means that both cloud storage and conventional data carrier (memory card or similar) can be used for the TSS.
We recommend the up-to-date and future-proof option of storage in the cloud. Find here more information about the TSS solution that fiskaly offers.
