New P2PE Standards May Benefit Merchants

 

In order to keep pace with the steady stream of technology improvements in the retail landscape - such as the growing use of mobile payment acceptance - the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) has made changes to the existing P2PE standards that were first rolled out in 2011. The changes, issued in April 2012, ensure that card holder data is encrypted at the very first Point of Sale (POS), whether the POS is a traditional retail terminal or a mobile payment application.

 

These new standards may potentially bring major benefits to merchants. When implemented properly, using P2PE solutions may lessen the annual merchant PCI Data Security Standards (DSS) compliance requirements - including the cost.

 

Bob Russo, general manager of PCI SSC, recently announced in a press release, "With these updated P2PE requirements and program in place to assess and validate these solutions securely, we're one step closer to helping merchants take advantage of this technology to simplify PCI DSS validation efforts and mitigate potential breaches."

ControlCase Authorized to Certify to P2PE Standards 

 

ControlCase is one of only a handful of PCI compliance certification firms globally authorized to certify to P2PE standards. As a Qualified Security Assessor for the newest P2PE standards (QSA (P2PE)), ControlCase is qualified to validate the full range of payment application and encryption device management solutions that P2PE providers offer to merchants.

 

This latest accreditation is a central part of ControlCase's mission to help organizations achieve compliance more quickly, more consistently. By maintaining the highest qualifications and skill sets, we continue to help our clients respond to regulatory environment changes and implement the latest security standards that may improve their efficiency and reduce their costs.
