Compliance may not be enough!
Even PCI PTS approved payment devices can have critical weaknesses that put transactions and customer data at risk. Our tailored penetration testing service implies in-depth security research. It identifies and mitigates security gaps in POS/PTS terminals, PIN pads, unattended payment terminals and payment peripherals, ensuring robust protection without disrupting operations.
For organizations relying on PCI approved payment devices, maintaining true security goes far beyond compliance.
Keeping up with PCI DSS and evolving security standards demands continuous attention, resources, and expertise - especially as new attack methods emerge. Even approved and certified devices can contain undiscovered and zero-day vulnerabilities, exposing your payment your payment ecosystem to potential compromise.
Certification alone doesn't guarantee protection in the real-world. The real challenge is to provide continuous security even after market-release when compliance is already granted.
PCA Cyber Security, specializes in pre-compliance and post-market release penetration testing for embedded systems, providing tailored security assessments for POS/PTS terminals, PIN pads, unattended payment terminals, mobile payment applications and peripheral devices.
Even PCI PTS approved terminals can have critical vulnerabilities for multiple reasons. Our rigorous testing methodology uncovers hidden risks, ensuring true security beyond certification while maintaining operational efficiency in numerous phases of the lifecycle.
The goal is to ensure that PCI PTS approved payment terminals, PIN pads, and related transaction systems remain secure under real-world attack conditions. By addressing these vulnerabilities proactively, organizations can strengthen overall system integrity, uphold PCI DSS requirements, and maintain customer confidence.
The PCA Cyber Security team conducts real-world attack and highly motivated attacker simulations to identify weaknesses across both hardware and software layers of payment systems. This comprehensive testing goes beyond compliance, uncovering vulnerabilities that may not be visible through standard certification, internal audits or discovered post market-launch.
Ultimately, this service helps reduce the risk of fraud, reputational damage, and financial loss - protecting device manufacturers, payment solution providers, and financial institutions alike.
For organizations deploying PCI PTS approved payment terminals, PIN pads, or self-service devices, real-world testing is vital to uncover vulnerabilities that are not detected during certification process. PCI standards ensure a baseline of security - but attackers exploit implementation flaws, integration weaknesses, and overlooked device behaviours in the field.
That's why real-world security testing is essential: to verify how well your PCI-compliant and PTS-approved environment withstands actual, evolving attack techniques.

Our latest whitepaper, Payment Device Security Excellence, presents the results of in-depth research and real-world testing performed by PCA Cyber Security researchers on PCI PTS approved payment devices from multiple manufacturers. The study reveals that despite of being compliant to PCI PTS standard, even approved terminals can contain previously undetected vulnerabilities - and explains how targeted testing can uncover and help mitigate these risks before attackers exploit them.
Discover actionable insights, technical findings, and practical recommendations designed to help payment device manufacturers, financial institutions and service providers strengthen the resilience of their transaction systems beyond compliance.
