Security Solutions

Tenerum recognizes the critical importance of safeguarding sensitive payment card information. To address these risks, we have developed advanced security solutions designed to protect your systems, customers, and brand.

Three layers of protection

Tokenization, encryption, and de-scoping

Tokenization

Sensitive payment card data is securely exchanged for surrogate values. When a payment card is provided to the Tenerum Gateway, it is securely encrypted and stored in our system, where it is assigned a token that is returned to your system for safe storage and future transactions.

Irreversibility — The token cannot be reverse-engineered to reveal the original payment card information.

Expiration management — The token automatically expires with the card's expiration date and can be seamlessly updated.

Enterprise-wide compatibility — The token functions consistently across your entire enterprise.

Immutability — The token remains unchanged throughout its lifecycle.

Versatility — Use the token to initiate new transactions, as well as update and modify existing ones.

Cost efficiency — All transactions are securely tokenized within our system, with no additional fees.

Point-to-Point Encryption

Sensitive payment account information is encrypted immediately upon entry into the payment stream and remains secure until it reaches the Tenerum Gateway, where it is decrypted, tokenized, and re-encrypted. The token is transmitted back to your system for secure storage and future adjustments.

Swiped transactions — Card account information is encrypted instantly as the card passes through the magnetic swipe reader.

Manual entry — On a secure encryption device, card information is encrypted immediately after account entry is completed.

Device compatibility — Works with Magtek, IDTech, and any other device supporting DUKPT encryption.

POS De-scoping

Our solution ensures that sensitive payment card data never enters your systems, effectively removing your POS, PMS, or other business systems from PCI scope. By preventing payment card data from interacting with these systems, you achieve greater security and compliance.

Device de-scoping — Keep card data isolated on secure payment devices.

Browser de-scoping — Capture card data in the browser without touching your systems.

Standards

Trusted, proven protection

Our solutions are backed by the same standards endorsed by the PCI Security Standards Council, ensuring you receive trusted and proven protection for your systems, customers, and brand.
