Despite warnings about data theft, it’s an unwelcome fact that hotel guests still email reservations -- with their full payment card details -- via regular email. This type of activity can expose the hotel to heavy fines, for not safeguarding such data.
Some hotels resort to drastic measures, deleting the mails, entirely. But then, they lose business. Some apply filters that can identify payment data in incoming mails, and then staff can either quarantine or reject the emails.
While these actions do limit risk, guest emails still remain within the hotel system, vulnerable to potential data breaches.

With the ShieldQ message acceptance and storage service, hotels go one secure step further, routing filtered emails automatically to a unified, PCI-compliant message queue.
