Hardware Security Module Evaluation

Home > Financial Services > Hardware Security Module

InfoGard's Payment Card Industry (PCI) Hardware Security Module (HSM) program evaluates Secure Devices designed to support a variety of payment processing and cardholder authentication applications and processes, including:

  • Personal Identification Number (PIN) Processing
  • Card Verification
  • Card Production and Personalization
  • PIN Translation
  • PIN Issuance

Why Evaluate Your Hardware Security Module?

The objective of InfoGard's HSM program is to ensure protection for PIN and cardholder data processed within the Secure Module. Module approval requires an evaluation that verifies that the Module meets PCI HSM requirements for confidentiality, integrity and authentication.

Why Choose InfoGard?

InfoGard was the first laboratory approved to perform PIN Entry Device (PED) evaluations under the pre-PCI program.

That original program has become the PCI Point of Interaction (POI) Device Security program, which is administered by the PCI Security Standards Council. InfoGard's present PCI HSM Evaluation program is largely based on both the PCI POI program and the FIPS 140-2 Validation programs.

InfoGard continues to maintain its long-standing reputation as the premier PCI PED laboratory—InfoGard's 10-plus years of PED laboratory evaluations have resulted in over 150 approvals.  And InfoGard remains the most experienced FIPS 140-2 laboratory and consultant in the Security industry. Because our Management team played an integral role in the development of the original FIPS 140 standard, we thoroughly understand the intent of the requirements and how to best achieve prompt compliance.  Over many years, InfoGard's expertise has validated Cryptographic Modules of all types and Security levels.

InfoGard is proud that we successfuly serve Security Device manufacturers from all over the world. From our headquarters on California’s Central Coast, we have performed PCI and FIPS 140-2 evaluations and validations for manufacturers in Europe, North and South America, and the Asia-Pacific region.

Our experienced PCI Evaluation staff supports InfoGard customers throughout every phase of the approval process. InfoGard has the experience and expertise to provide you with needed services to achieve HSM Approval—whether you require HSM Compliance Consulting or assistance in preparing for the PCI Evaluation or you are ready to begin an evaluation immediately.
