Compliance in the payments world leveraging HSMs

Any organisation involved in card payment transactions, from issuance to processing, must be compliant with standards. These are increasingly becoming more robust, detailed and payment-specific to protect customer sensitive data. To meet these standards, HSMs are a mandatory requirement to both protect and support the cryptographic keys and operations throughout the payment transaction. As such, HSMs are a critical part of an organisation’s infrastructure and are expected to handle transactions seamlessly, 24/7. Performance, reliability and operating costs are all factors to consider during a procurement selection stage, while the operations team must have the available tools and knowledge to be able to remotely manage the HSMs for configuration, audit and key management, following industry best practise.
