Implement EMV 3-D Secure, without turning the protocol into controls yourself.
Every 3DS obligation handed to you as an adopt-ready control, from the roles and server integration through risk-based authentication and the challenge flow to security and the liability shift, with the evidence a scheme assessor examines.
Authentication-ready in a weekend, not a quarter.

Here is the honest situation. EMV 3-D Secure is the protocol that authenticates card-not-present payments, balancing fraud prevention against checkout friction. Implementing it means integrating the 3DS Server, collecting rich device and transaction data, running risk-based authentication for a frictionless flow, handling the challenge flow and modern authentication methods, protecting keys and cardholder data, completing scheme certification, and managing the fraud liability shift. Building that and evidencing it is real work, and an implementation that challenges every transaction or goes live without certification is exactly where implementers fall short.

This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every 3DS obligation written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence a scheme assessor examines.

What you get, the moment you buy

20
Obligations as adopt-ready controls. Every 3DS obligation, from the roles and server integration through risk-based authentication, the challenge flow, security and the liability shift, written so you personalize and apply it.
20
Evidence-they-examine checklists. For each control, exactly what a scheme assessor examines, plus where implementers fall short, so you close the gap first.
1
3DS Control Matrix, pre-built. Every obligation in a working spreadsheet, ready to record status, owner and evidence location.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each obligation and the workbook returns your readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.

Grounded in the EMV 3-D Secure protocol, with the roles and ecosystem, the 3DS Server integration, risk-based and frictionless authentication, the challenge flow, security and data protection, scheme certification and the liability shift called out. Editable Word and Excel files.

Frictionless flow is the whole point, done safely
EMV 3DS 2.x exists to authenticate low-risk transactions without a challenge and reserve challenges for higher-risk ones, using rich data and risk assessment. An implementation that challenges everything destroys conversion, and one that challenges nothing invites fraud. This Kit builds the risk-based authentication and challenge controls with the evidence a scheme assessor asks for.

What one control looks like

This is determining your 3DS role and the ecosystem, where implementation begins. All 20 are built to this depth.

EMV3DS-1 Determine your 3DS role ROLES
Put this control in place

Determine and document which EMV 3-D Secure roles [your organization name] performs, whether merchant, acquirer, issuer, 3DS Server provider, Directory Server participant or Access Control Server operator, and record the responsibilities each role carries, so the applicable protocol obligations and the components to implement are established before any integration work begins.

Practitioner note.

EMV 3DS defines distinct roles with distinct obligations.

Evidence a scheme assessor examines
  • A role determination memo for 3DS
  • A mapping of responsibilities to each role
  • The components in scope for the organization
Common finding they raise: A merchant assumes the acquirer handles all 3DS duties and implements nothing.

Why this is not another template pack

  • The evidence is the point. An implementation you cannot evidence fails certification. This tells you what a scheme assessor examines and where implementers fall short, for every obligation.
  • Risk-based authentication and the liability shift built in. The risk-based flow, the challenge handling and the fraud liability shift are written into the controls, the substance 3DS delivers.
  • Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
  • It compounds. 3DS aligns with PCI DSS and strong customer authentication regimes, so this work feeds your wider payments compliance.

Who buys this

Merchants, acquirers, issuers and payment providers implementing 3DS, and the payments, risk and engineering leads who own it. Whether it is a first integration or a version upgrade, you save weeks and walk in with the flow, security and evidence structured.

By the end of the weekend you will have
✓  An adopt-ready control for all 20 obligations
✓  A completed 3DS control matrix
✓  The evidence a scheme assessor examines
✓  Your risk-based authentication and challenge flow in place
✓  A readiness percentage and a fix list
✓  The over-challenge and certification gaps closed

Common questions

Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.

Does it cover risk-based authentication? Yes. The frictionless risk-based flow and the correct use of exemptions are their own control group.

Does it cover the liability shift? Yes. Understanding and managing the fraud liability shift, and reconciling disputes to authentication results, are built as controls.

Does it cover scheme certification? Yes. Completing the card scheme certification testing before go-live is a control.

What if it is not for me? A 30-day money-back guarantee.

Do not go live without certification or a risk-based flow.
Every 3DS obligation is fast to adopt with the Kit. It is instant, and it is guaranteed.
Add it to your cart and be authentication-ready this weekend.
