The new PCI-validated P2PE solution leverages Bluefin's Decryptx platform and SoftPoint's Datapoint mobile application
Bluefin, the leader in payment security, today announced a partnership with SoftPoint, a leader
in software and services for the hospitality industry, to provide Bluefin's PCI-validated Point-toPoint
Encryption (P2PE) solution through SoftPoint's Datapoint mobile application.
SoftPoint offers a fully integrated hospitality management system that is designed to enhance
Restaurant, Retail, and Hotel activities. SoftPoint uses cutting edge technology, smart terminals,
and innovation that results in solutions that streamline merchant operations, reduce processing
cost, eliminate fraudulent charge backs and now, with the integration to Bluefin, reduces risk,
providing merchant customers with a better overall experience.
Bluefin enables PCI-validated P2PE on partner platforms with their Decryptx® Decryption as a
Service (DaaS) product, which allows gateways, applications, and processors to directly connect
to Bluefin for the P2PE service. Together, the three companies can now offer a joint solution
that provides Bluefin's PCI-validated P2PE product on a mobile payment terminal that can
transmit data to various POS platforms, such as NCR Aloha, Micros and PosiTouch to name a
few.
Leveraging Bluefin's Decryptx platform, SoftPoint gateway, and SoftPoint's DataPoint mobile
application, the joint solution is the first fully integrated payment solution for any legacy or
cloud based point of sales, offering PCI-validated P2PE. In addition to NCR Aloha, SoftPoint
support a number of major POS platforms including Brink, Dinerware, Focus, Maitre'D, MICROS,
POSitouch, Squirrel, Aireus, XPIENT and in the next quarter many popular Property
Management Systems like Opera.
"We are very excited to partner with SoftPoint, as this new solution will allow users of many
major POS platforms to now seamlessly adopt our PCI-validated P2PE solution, with absolutely
no change to their current payment and software integration flow," said Greg Cornwell, Head of
Global Sales, Bluefin. "The partnership opens up the possibility of PCI-validated P2PE to POS
platforms that currently have no access to this solution."
Bluefin's PCI-validated P2PE solution secures credit and debit card transactions by encrypting all
data within a PCI-approved point of entry device, preventing clear-text cardholder data from
being available in the device or the merchant's system where it could be exposed to malware.
Data decryption is only done offsite in a Bluefin hardware security module (HSM).
"Over the last 2 years we have done an extensive search into the marketspace – not only in terms of product and offering but true interconnectivity and support," said Christian Rivadalla
Jr, Co-CEO, SoftPoint. "Our research clearly showed that there was no group more
knowledgeable nor a product more secure in the market than Bluefin's PCI-validated P2PE
solution."
