Why PCI PIN Security & Compliance?
PCI PIN Security consulting service ensures that user PIN remains private and secure at the point of transaction.
Personal Identification Number (PIN) points to the vital information required to authenticate a user transaction. Any security flaw at the transaction end can lead to the loss of sensitive information. Additionally, the POS agents/ enterprises will have to face the aftermaths of non-compliance from payment brands. It can seriously affect the credibility of an enterprise, with hefty penalties on the flip side. The intention of PCI PIN Security control implementation is to protect from threats against PIN which affects POI and Acquirer/Interchange switches. It addresses challenges like device tampering, lack of equipment controls, usage of non-compliant hardware devices, weak key management practices, visual compromises, ATM/POI malwares, PIN logging, weak PIN block controls, usage of weak/test keys etc.
Payment brands collectively require PIN program agents/enterprises to conduct on-site PCI PIN compliance validation. The scope of the security standard extends beyond online transactions towards offline transactions in ATMs/ unattended POS terminals. Therefore, enterprises require periodic review of their devices, adhere to compliance requirements. Any devices facing a shortfall in security need to be replaced or patched against the standard.
