The technical security system (TSS) can be operated in two possible ways: Via the Internet in a cloud or by additional hardware at the cash register.
Moderne Kassensysteme sind oft auf eine cloudbasierte TSE angewiesen. Cloud TSEs offer a number of advantages over hardware TSEs when it comes to fiscalizing cash registers.

The integration of a cloud TSE into a POS system is fast and cost-effective, as the required data is largely exchanged automatically via interfaces. This means that new legal requirements or new functions can also be integrated easily and seamlessly. Likewise, switching to another POS provider is unproblematic, as the cloud-based software can be easily adapted.
With cloud TSE, updates are automatic and therefore cost-effective. The updates are installed on the software side. The users do not have any tedious extra work.
The use of cloud TSE enables high flexibility in terms of the number of TSEs deployed. In addition, the number of cash registers equipped with cloud TSE and the number of transactions can be scaled quickly.
A cloud TSE does not require local hardware installations in the form of an SD card, USB sticks or TPM module at the POS. This eliminates the need for on-site installations and the associated costs and time (for example, the deployment of a technician). This is important in the long run because hardware TSEs have a certificate life after which the hardware must be replaced. With no hardware components, there is no maintenance and nothing can be broken or lost.
Cloud TSE can be deployed cost-effectively, making them cheap for customers to buy and operate. There can be no additional costs due to hardware failures. Cloud TSS’ have no hidden costs, so they are transparent in their costs and cost-effective in the long run.
By law, the data must be stored in Germany. fiskaly meets all legal requirements. The fiskaly fiskaly server location is in Frankfurt am Main.
The fiskaly Cloud TSE is cloud-based, so it can be delivered securely and contactlessly to taxpayers. This provides maximum flexibility in the delivery, as it can be made at any time — even in lockdown.
A cloud TSE is compatible with all modern systems because it works by means of interfaces. Archiving systems, accounting programs and other tools can be connected to your system in just a few steps without affecting the POS system. Central monitoring allows all TSEs and their activities to be tracked at a glance, even across multiple business locations.
In the event of a cash register inspection, the data can be made available to the auditor quickly and easily by means of export. Via the dashboard, you always have your data available and can manage it with little effort.
With modern tablet cash registers, hardware TSE is very complex or even impossible to implement. With cloud TSE, you can still use your mobile devices like tablets and smartphones with ease.
Hardware TSEs create the signature and store the information on site. To ensure tamper protection, the hardware TSE has a certificate life (5 years). After the certificate expires, the hardware must be replaced. Hardware TSEs are high-maintenance, costly and time-consuming. They are also difficult to scale because hardware is required per each POS system or per network.
