Managing payment security and PCI DSS compliance can be daunting for merchants. That’s where PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) steps in. Offering the highest level of payment security, P2PE ensures your POS and network systems are completely out of scope for compliance requirements, helping you save on time, cost, and worry.

The Power of PCI-Validated P2PE

Only solutions listed on the official PCI SSC website meet the rigorous standards required to grant merchants these key benefits.

Here’s how PCI-validated P2PE works:

• It uses secure Point-of-Interaction (POI) hardware to immediately encrypt credit card details at the moment a card is swiped or entered.

• The encrypted information is securely decrypted inside a hardware security module (HSM), preventing access to sensitive cardholder data by anyone other than the payment processor.

This ensures top-tier protection for personally identifiable information (PII) and original card numbers.

Minimizing Compliance, Maximizing Security

Beyond data security, PCI-validated P2PE drastically reduces your PCI DSS compliance obligations by eliminating your POS and network from scope. Here’s what this means for your business:

• Lower Costs: Operating a secure payment environment becomes significantly more affordable.

• Simplified Requirements: Fewer controls are necessary to maintain PCI compliance, easing operational demands.
