Bluefin Payment Systems has partnered with EchoSat, a provider of payments security and redundancy for retail outlets, to protect point-of-sale (POS) systems from security breaches.
The deal will further boost data security for EchoSat clients through the implementation of Bluefin’s Decryptx PCI-validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) service, which will provide additional protection by encrypting payment data directly at the point of interface (POI).

Bluefin said that PCI-validated P2PE service secures card transactions by encrypting all data within a PCI-approved point of entry swipe or keypad device, preventing clear-text cardholder data from being available in the device or the merchant’s system.
The partnership will allow EchoSat clients to access the P2PE solution on the EchoSat SPG and PaySafe SPG platforms.
Additionally, Bluefin will provide devices, key injection, shipping and chain of custody for EchoSat clients under the deal.
Bluefin CEO John Perry said: "We congratulate EchoSat on being on the cutting edge of payment card security, and are delighted that they have chosen Bluefin and Decryptx as a means for their clients to secure cardholder data and reduce PCI scope."

By GlobalDataEchoSat CEO Mark Carl said: "Decryptx will become an essential tool in ensuring that our clients’ systems are secure. When reviewing P2PE providers, it was critical for us to find a P2PE solution that was validated by the PCI SSC. Other vendors in our space offer P2PE solutions that are not validated, and we believe the Decryptx solution will give us a competitive advantage on that front."
