TNS EXPANDS P2PE PORTFOLIO WITH SUPPORT FOR INGENICO GROUP’S ON-GUARD
SOLUTION
April 21, 2015 – Transaction Network Services (TNS) is giving processors and merchants an
enhanced choice of point-to-point encryption technology by augmenting its Managed POS
Encryption portfolio with the addition of Ingenico Group’s On-Guard solution.
TNS’ Managed POS Encryption, which was launched in 2010 and covers several terminal and
hardware agnostic encryption solutions, helps merchants to protect sensitive customer
information by eliminating the transmission of ‘clear’ cardholder data from the merchant
environment.
Lisa Shipley, Executive Vice President and Managing Director for TNS’ Payment Network
Solutions, said: “We’re delighted to be expanding our Managed POS Encryption portfolio to
include Ingenico’s On-Guard, which enables us to offer processors a greater choice of devices
compatible with point-to-point encryption (P2PE) technology.
“P2PE has been recognized as an effective defense against data breaches and, with different
hacking attacks seemingly hitting the headlines every month, it is critical that processors offer
their merchants the chance to diversify their risk by using a neutral third party provider for
encryption services.”
TNS’ Managed POS Encryption protects data from the point-of-sale terminal through to the
payment acquirer or processor, utilizing multiple high-capacity decryption gateways located
within geographically diverse data centers and supported by dynamic alternate routing
capabilities. Merchants can benefit from limited up-front capital expense and can also eliminate
the need to commit to any ongoing personnel, management or maintenance resources.
Rod Hometh, Senior Vice President of Strategic Development at Ingenico Group, North
America, said: “Working with TNS will expand our On-Guard market offering and provide users
with a range of additional benefits, such as access to TNS’ extensive global community which
includes connections to more than 400 card schemes, banks, acquirers and processors.
Merchants can also maintain control of their decryption keys and easily establish multiple
processor relationships as their needs evolve.
“At the same time we are providing TNS with access to a SRED (Secure Reading and
Exchange of Data) certified encryption technology, the highest security level for point-to-point
encryption. Our On-Guard solution is a format preserving encryption service which minimizes
the changes necessary to legacy systems, making it easier and quicker to upgrade.”
In addition to Managed POS Encryption, TNS offers tokenization to enable merchants to further
protect sensitive cardholder data. Ideally suited for merchants that take recurring payments or
need to store cardholder data for chargeback, reversal and marketing analytics, the robust
solution replaces information in the merchant environment with a token that can be regularly
submitted to TNS when payments are due. TNS stores the cardholder information on behalf of
the merchant within its secure, PCI DSS compliant environment.
TNS is a Level 1 PCI DSS certified service provider and its secure network is supported
24x7x365 by TNS’ Network Operating Centers around the world.
With a strong payments heritage and more than 20 years of expertise, TNS now provides
services in more than 60 countries across Europe, the Americas and the Asia Pacific regions.
