PCI PIN Advisory
and Certification

PCI PIN is a Payment Security Standard developed by the PCI Council to protect PIN data. It specifies the secure PIN data management, processing, and transfer standards during online and offline card transactions. A total of 33 requirements, organized into seven logically related categories known as Control Objectives, ensure that PIN data is not compromised during the electronic payment process, particularly during the key exchange phase.

PCI PIN security is primarily concerned with safeguarding all forms of POS (point-of-sale) systems and terminals, including those attended or manned by merchants and Unattended Payment Terminals (UPT) devices such as parking payment automation machines. PCI Security Standards apply to online transactions and offline payment card transactions conducted at ATMs and attended / unattended POS terminals.
