TSE-Compliant Systems for Germany

Germany's Cash Register Security Ordinance (KassenSichV) requires electronic recording systems to protect every transaction with a technical security system, the TSE. Santim designs devices and software so that this requirement is part of the architecture from day one.

[The challenge]

Fiscal regulation touches hardware, firmware, software and processes at the same time. Treated as a late add-on, it leads to redesigns, delays and findings at inspection.

[Architecture]

How the system fits together

Fiscal events flow from the device through the TSE into protected storage and on to the back office, in one unbroken, verifiable chain.

[Capabilities]

What we engineer

  1. Requirement mapping

    KassenSichV and related rules translated into concrete device and software requirements.

  2. TSE integration

    The technical security system connected securely to every transaction path.

  3. Tamper-evident records

    Protected, sequential records exported in the formats inspectors expect.

  4. Audit readiness

    Documentation and test evidence prepared alongside development, not after it.

Quality and compliance

Every project includes a validation plan against the KassenSichV requirements and the technical guidelines that apply to it.

Integration

Taximeters, cash registers, printers and reporting systems.

[Outcomes]

What changes in the field

  1. 01

    Lower regulatory risk

    Compliance designed in, not bolted on.

  2. 02

    Smoother inspections

    Records and exports ready when the inspector asks.

  3. 03

    Confident market entry

    A clear path into the German market.
