A Merchant Guide for Deploying and Maintaining the FreedomPay® P2PE Scope-Reduction Solution

Version 2.16

Overview

Security is a never-ending race. With the FreedomPay® Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) Scope-Reduction Solution, your organization can remain a step ahead. The FreedomPay P2PE Solution is North America’s first fully functional P2PE payment technology validated by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). According to the PCI SSC, when correctly implemented, a validated P2PE solution may simplify a merchant’s PCI compliance program by eliminating clear-text cardholder data from the merchant’s environment and reducing the scope of PCI DSS requirements.

Validated P2PE solutions reduce PCI DSS compliance scope by eliminating clear-text cardholder data from the merchant’s environment or, if the merchant also operates other payment channels, by isolating the P2PE environment from clear-text cardholder data. As with any successful solution, planning, implementation, maintenance, and periodic reviews are important requirements and processes to maximize the associated benefits.

Note: Scope reduction is dependent upon correct implementation of a validated P2PE solution and neither PCI nor FreedomPay guaranty that implementation of a validated P2PE solution will yield an out of scope process for purposes of PCI DSS compliance. Rather, as noted by PCI SSC, any discussions about scope reduction should be held between the individual organization and its acquirer, payment brand or quality security assessor.
