TranSentry™: PA-DSS compliance made easier
TranSentry™ is a PA-DSS validated payment application that handles the processing and transmission of customers' sensitive card data. With TranSentry, sensitive card data is not stored, processed or transmitted through the point-of-sale (POS) software of the developer; a developer's POS application need only collect the non-sensitive data necessary to perform a payment transaction.
Integrating TranSentry to the POS system offers PA-DSS scope reduction for the developer and drastically reduces the cost and effort of achieving PA-DSS compliance. POS developers can get the MercuryPay® processing platform and TranSentry application in one integration package. With the introduction of end-to-end (E2E) encryption, TranSentry provides the best available level of protection, starting with the earliest point at which user interaction begins, the point of swipe.
How TranSentry Works
Once a transaction is ready for tender, TranSentry captures the transaction and initiates the swipe or manual entry of the card information. TranSentry then securely transmits the transaction to Mercury Payment Systems' secure network, passing back all necessary, non-sensitive transaction response information to the POS. TranSentry has always isolated and removed POS applications from the need to handle sensitive cardholder data. The product also offers support for end-to-end (E2E) encryption, which allows a merchant to encrypt data from the point of swipe. When a developer integrates to TranSentry with E2E, the entire process simplified both in terms of the details of device integration and a more seamless end user experience.
