TG-3 PIN Security Audit
Given the amount of debit and ATM transactions these days, have you ever thought about the types of security controls necessary to protect PIN numbers? What types of encryption are used? Where are the encryption keys used to protect PIN numbers really stored? Who has access to them?
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has developed a set of best practice security standards known as Technical Guide 3 (TG-3) to govern Personal Identification Number (PIN) Security. Interbank networks that route Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and Point of Sale (POS) transactions such as STAR, Pulse, and NYCE require their members to achieve compliance with TG-3 standards. Organizations held to these control standards are subject to periodic audits by CTGA (Certified TG-3 Auditor) licensed professionals. TrustCC personnel are professionally certified and authorized to perform TG-3 PIN Security Audits.
Designed For:
- Banks and Credit Unions that are Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) network members who facilitate ATM and debit card payments.
- Retailers who deploy their own ATMs with nationally recognized card trademarks such as STAR, Pulse, and NYCE.
- Third-party processors who acquire and process transactions from Point of Sale (POS) terminals on behalf of banks, credit unions, and retailers.
- A comprehensive audit by a TG-3 certified professional (CTGA).
- All required documents in a format ready to be submitted to a financial institution's EFT network.
