What is P2PE?Point-to-point encryption (P2PE) is a standard established by the Payment Card Industry (PCI)Security Standards Council. The objective of P2PE is to provide a payment security solution thatinstantaneously converts confidential payment card (credit and debit card) data and informationinto indecipherable code at the time the card is entered or swiped to prevent hacking and fraud.Why do I need a P2PE solution?iModules maintains compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)and is certified compliant as a Level One Service Provider by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA)authorized by the PCI Security Standards Council. This Level One compliance, the highest levelof PCI DSS compliance, ensures that your e-commerce transaction data is securely protected,transmitted, and stored by iModules.As part of updates to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), PCI 3.1and 3.2, the compliance requirement now extends to your institution’s computers and network,making you responsible for protecting credit card information throughout your internal systems—from keyboard to network endpoint. This requirement is separate from iModules’ own complianceresponsibility and ensures that credit card payments entered on devices at your institutionthrough the Encompass administrative interface (on behalf of your constituents) are not leftunencrypted and vulnerable to data breach upon entry or while being transmitted through yourinstitution’s internal network to the endpoint for transmittal to iModules’ servers. This is whatis referred to as a “card not present” transaction, meaning the constituent is not entering in thecredit card information via his/her own device.What is a P2PE solution provider?The P2PE solution provider is a third-party entity (for example, a processor, acquirer, or paymentgateway) that has overall responsibility for the design and implementation of a specific P2PEsolution, and manages P2PE solutions for its merchant customers. The solution provider hasoverall responsibility for ensuring that all P2PE requirements are met, including any P2PErequirements performed by third-party organizations on behalf of the solution provider (forexample, certification authorities and key-injection facilities).Why did iModules partner with Bluefin?iModules has partnered with Bluefin Payment Systems, a leading provider of payment securitysolutions for U.S. and Canadian organizations, to provide the security and PCI scope reduction ofBluefin’s PCI-validated P2PE solution to organizations that use iModules.
