Overview
Conviso’s PCI PIN Audit service is designed for organizations that manage PIN data and cryptographic key operations within AWS-based or hybrid environments. Conducted by a certified Qualified PIN Assessor (QPA), this engagement verifies adherence to the PCI PIN Security Requirements, culminating in the delivery of a formal Attestation of Compliance (AoC).
Ideal for financial institutions, payment processors, and service providers, this audit ensures your infrastructure meets all applicable security controls related to PIN management, encryption, and key lifecycle processes.
