PAYware Ocius, VeriFone Systems’ payments as a service (PaaS) platform for the UK market, has been certified by the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC) as an approved point-to-point encryption (P2PE) solution.
VeriFone said that PCI SSC certification validates PAYware Ocius’ ability to help merchants improve security and minimise the scope of PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) management through P2PE of cardholder data.
"Certification of PAYware Ocius was based on 888 rigorous standards required by the PCI SSC across six domains, including the ability to securely ship and track terminals from VeriFone facilities to the client locations to reduce the possibility of tampering," said by the company in a statement.
June Felix, president of Europe for VeriFone, said: "The VeriFone brand stands for industrial strength security and this has been our number one priority since our inception 33 years ago.
"PAYware Ocius’ PCI SSC certification allows us to extend our multilayered approach to security to the UK market, where we can help our clients simplify compliance management and protect their customers as well as their brands and reputations from cyber criminals."
