Payment security company Bluefin has formed a partnership with SoftPoint, a provider of software and services for the hospitality industry, to offer payment security and risk management solutions.
SoftPoint offers a fully integrated hospitality management system that is designed to enhance restaurant, retail, and hotel activities.
The partnership will see Bluefin provide its PCI-validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) solution through SoftPoint’s Datapoint mobile application.
Bluefin enables PCI-validated P2PE on partner platforms with its Decryptx Decryption as a Service (DaaS) product, which allows gateways, applications, and processors to directly connect to Bluefin for the P2PE service.
Together they will offer a joint solution that provides Bluefin’s PCI-validated P2PE product on a mobile payment terminal that can transmit data to various POS platforms, such as NCR Aloha. In addition to NCR Aloha, SoftPoint supports a number of major POS platforms including Brink, Dinerware, Focus, Maitre’D, MICROS, POSitouch, Squirrel, Aireus, XPIENT and in the next quarter, many popular Property Management Systems like Opera.
Leveraging Bluefin’s Decryptx platform, SoftPoint gateway, and SoftPoint’s DataPoint mobile application, the joint solution claims to be the first fully integrated payment solution for any legacy or cloud-based point of sale system offering PCI-validated P2PE.
“We are very excited to partner with SoftPoint, as this new solution will allow users of many major POS platforms to now seamlessly adopt our PCI-validated P2PE solution, with absolutely no change to their current payment and software integration flow,” said Greg Cornwell, Head of Global Sales, Bluefin. “The partnership opens up the possibility of PCI-validated P2PE to POS platforms that currently have no access to this solution.”
Bluefin’s PCI-validated P2PE solution secures credit and debit card transactions by encrypting all data within a PCI-approved point of entry device, preventing clear-text cardholder data from being available in the device or the merchant’s system where it could be exposed to malware.
