PCI PIN Security
The PCI PIN Security Requirements and Testing Procedures (PCI Security Standards Council, v3.1, March 2021) set the requirements for the secure management, processing and transmission of PIN data during online and offline payment card transaction processing at ATMs and point-of-sale terminals: 33 requirements under seven control objectives covering equipment, key generation, conveyance, loading, usage, administration and device management, with Normative Annexes A (symmetric key distribution using asymmetric techniques), B (key injection facilities) and C. The graph models the 282 sub-requirements as the ROC template restates them.
PCI PIN Security is a compliance framework from Global (PCI Security Standards Council; acquirers and their agents processing PINs, key-injection facilities and certification authorities) with 10 domains and 282 controls that map to 178 other frameworks. The largest domains are Normative Annex A2: Certification and registration authority operations – PCI PIN Security (77 controls), Normative Annex B: Key-injection facilities – PCI PIN Security (45 controls), Control Objective 5: Keys are used in a manner that prevents or detects their unauthorized usage – PCI PIN Security (33 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.

The Compliance Position Diagnostic, $5,000 fixed, ten business daysWhat is PCI PIN Security and who does it apply to?
PCI PIN Security is a compliance framework from Global (PCI Security Standards Council; acquirers and their agents processing PINs, key-injection facilities and certification authorities) with 10 domains and 282 controls. The PCI PIN Security Requirements and Testing Procedures (PCI Security Standards Council, v3.1, March 2021) set the requirements for the secure management, processing and transmission of PIN data during online and offline payment card transaction processing at ATMs and point-of-sale terminals: 33 requirements under seven control objectives covering equipment, key generation, conveyance, loading, usage, administration and device management, with Normative Annexes A (symmetric key distribution using asymmetric techniques), B (key injection facilities) and C. The graph models the 282 sub-requirements as the ROC template restates them. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
What does PCI PIN Security actually require?
PCI PIN Security has 282 controls organised across 10 domains. The largest domains are Normative Annex A2: Certification and registration authority operations – PCI PIN Security (77 controls), Normative Annex B: Key-injection facilities – PCI PIN Security (45 controls), Control Objective 5: Keys are used in a manner that prevents or detects their unauthorized usage – PCI PIN Security (33 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.
