Pioneer Electronics North America wanted to ensure their customer data was constantly protected, but they ran into hurdles while trying to operate within PCI regulations. They needed a PCI compliant electronic payment acceptance solution to seamlessly integrate with their ERP system. Pioneer turned to their longtime partner, Paymetric.

Pioneer’s security plan at the time included encrypting data. Under PCI compliance regulations, any organization that uses encryption has to change their decryption keys once a year. This means decrypting all cards and encrypting them with a new key, exposing raw credit card data to their environment. To compound the situation, Pioneer didn’t want the requisite ERP downtime involved in rotating encryption keys, putting them at risk for non-compliance.

With Paymetric’s tokenization solution, no key rotations are required, and Pioneer systems are removed from PCI scope. Pioneer was able to eliminate the cost and time needed to rotate encryption keys in multiple systems without any ERP downtime. Kevin Erlandson, Director of Applications, said, “Paymetric helped us reduce the cost of PCI compliance while improving security.”

Paymetric provided Pioneer with a more affordable and secure tokenization solution, XiSecure. With XiSecure, sensitive cardholder data is never stored in the enterprise payment acceptance system– enabling companies and customers to eliminate data exposure in the event of a breach, while dramatically reducing the cost and effort to achieve PCI compliance.

Client Success Story

According to Erlandson, “Paymetric’s solutions enabled us to prevent our customer information from being compromised, and it helped from a maintenance standpoint because of the complications involved with rotating encryption keys. All of that is now handled by Paymetric– without any ERP outages or downtime.” Tokenization Translates to Success

With XiSecure tokenization in place, Paymetric was able to eliminate storage of cardholder data from Pioneer’s enterprise systems altogether. “We are now in a better position to more tightly control access to credit card information. Access to credit card information is restricted and all an administrator can see now is the token,” said Erlandson. “With Paymetric, we have an additional layer of security.”
