Find out how to get your PIN solution PCI compliant
The PIN program is required for companies involved in processing PIN transactions. Typically, this involves acquirers as well as companies that act as a gateway between the acquirer and the issuer processing a PIN transaction for encryption service providers. The purpose of a PIN assessment is to assess if an organization is securely handing the encryption of PINs in their transactions, such as POS devices, where customers enter their PINs. Businesses that need to have PIN assessments are a small subset of those who fall under the PCI umbrella.
The PIN assessment process begins with a gap analysis to determine the work that needs to be done. This initial process includes a consulting phase and a pre-audit phase where you are prepared for the on-site assessment. Your scope is discussed, and all the logistical details of the assessment are determined. Then you would experience the onsite PIN assessment phase.
Finally, you enter the remediation phase, where you are guided through becoming PIN compliant. The PIN assessment process finishes when SecurityMetrics submits your final validation report. Card brands require that assessments are performed every two years.
