By Pavithra R

Bluefin, a leading payment security platform that supports payment gateways, processors and ISV’s in 28 countries has announced that the company has partnered with Invoice Cloud, Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment (EBPP) solutions provider to provide PCI-validated P2PE through the company’s SaaS platform.

Bluefin enables PCI-validated P2PE on partner platforms using their Decryptx Decryption as a Service (DaaS) product, which allows ISV’s, gateways, and processors to connect directly to Bluefin for the P2PE service. Through the partnership, Invoice Cloud will provide PCI-validated P2PE solution, which secures credit and debit card transactions by encrypting data within a PCI-approved point of entry device. This prevents the avilability of clear-text cardholder data within the device, or in the merchant’s system where chances of exposure to malware resides.

“At Invoice Cloud, data security and PCI compliance are at the top of the priority list. We listened to clients looking for an extra layer of protection above and beyond PCI-mandated strong cryptography and implemented a POS solution that provides the gold standard in data security — PCI-validated P2PE. Instantly encrypting the card data at the point of interaction and decrypting it off-site offers our clients maximum protection, significant reduction of PCI scope, and peace of mind,” said Martha Greer, Senior Vice President of Operations, Invoice Cloud.

The benefits of the Bluefin and Invoice Cloud P2PE solution includes minimizing thd PCI scope questions on the P2PE self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ), which in turn reduces cost and enables efficient savings; seamless integration with the Invoice Cloud’s platform utilizing the P2PE-validated Ingenico iSC Touch 250 and online management of the P2PE device process with Bluefin’s P2PE Manager.

“Invoice Cloud is a leader in innovative, best in breed solutions for e-bill presentment, providing their customers a variety of ways to pay, from point-of-sale (POS) and kiosk to online banking, directly through government, utility, and insurance websites. With the adoption of PCI-validated P2PE, the myriad of industries that Invoice Cloud serves now have a comprehensive security solution that can protect their POS operations. We are excited to provide the benefits of our validated P2PE solution to Invoice Cloud clients,” said Greg Cornwell, Chief Revenue Officer, Bluefin.
