Frequently Asked Questions

How does tokenisation reduce PCI scope?

Tokenisation replaces cardholder data with non-sensitive tokens, removing systems that handle tokens from CDE scope. This can reduce applicable controls by 40-70% depending on implementation. Token vaults remain in scope, but operational systems using tokens do not.

What is P2PE in PCI DSS?

Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) is a PCI SSC-validated encryption solution that encrypts card data from the point of interaction (terminal) to the secure decryption environment. PCI-validated P2PE solutions can reduce SAQ scope to as few as 33 controls (SAQ P2PE).

Can I outsource PCI compliance entirely?

You can outsource payment processing but not PCI compliance responsibility. Using a PCI-validated payment processor reduces your scope (potentially to SAQ A), but you remain responsible for managing the provider relationship, maintaining policies, and completing your annual SAQ.
