Applus+ Laboratories Accredited for PCI MPoC, PCI SPoC and PCI CPoC Mobile Payment Standards

04/11/2024

    We are now able to evaluate the security of Commercial off-the-Shelf (COTS) devices, that include mobile phones and tablets, operating as card readers.

    As the payments industry continues to evolve, PCI standards are also adapting to ensure that COTS devices can be securely used for accepting payments, using a unified global standard for securing mobile transactions, MPoC.

    While today there are 3 different standards, Mobile Payments on COTS (MPoC), Software-based PIN Entry on COTS (SPoC) and PCI Contactless Payments on COTS (CPoC), and Applus+ Laboratories is accredited for all of them, in the near future MPoC will be the new benchmark for the security of mobile payment acceptance solutions.

    Applus+ Laboratories is once again at the forefront of compliance and cybersecurity regulations, playing a pivotal role in the certification of mobile payment solutions.

    What Does This Mean for our Clients at Applus+ Laboratories?

    For our clients, obtaining PCI MPoC accreditation positions them at the highest level of security compliance for mobile payment solutions, offering:

    • Enhanced security and trust for mobile payment applications,
    • Full compliance with PCI standards for secure payment acceptance on COTS devices, and
    • Accelerated time-to-market by meeting the latest security requirements.

    The PCI MPoC certification serves as a mark of quality, assuring that a product has undergone rigorous evaluation and meets the stringent security standards necessary to protect payment data. This not only helps stakeholders in making informed decisions but also strengthens the security and reliability of mobile payment ecosystems.
