PCI P2PE · Point-to-Point Encryption · Evidence & Implementation Kit
Validate a PCI P2PE solution, without mapping six domains to evidence yourself.
Every PCI P2PE requirement handed to you as an adopt-ready control, from approved POI devices and encryption at the point of interaction through the secure decryption environment and cryptographic key management, with the evidence a P2PE assessor examines.
Validation-ready in a weekend, not a quarter.
Here is the honest situation. A validated PCI P2PE solution lets your merchants take card data out of scope, a huge commercial advantage, but the standard is demanding across six domains: approved POI devices, secure applications, solution management with a merchant instruction manual, a hardened decryption environment with HSMs, and cryptographic key management under dual control and split knowledge. Building all of that and assembling the assessment evidence is months of work, and a key-management gap or an unhardened decryption environment is exactly what fails a P2PE validation.
This Kit removes that build. It is every P2PE requirement written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence a P2PE assessor examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
32
Requirements as adopt-ready controls. Every P2PE requirement across the six domains, from POI device and application management through solution management, the decryption environment and cryptographic key operations, written so you personalize and apply it.
32
Evidence-they-examine checklists. For each control, exactly what a P2PE assessor examines, plus where P2PE validation fails, so you close the gap before the assessment.
1
P2PE Control Matrix, pre-built. Every requirement in a working spreadsheet, ready to record status and evidence location across the solution and its component providers.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each requirement and the workbook returns your validation readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.
Grounded in the PCI P2PE Standard across its six domains, with approved POI devices, encryption at the point of interaction, the secure decryption environment and cryptographic key management called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
Key management is where P2PE validations fail
The hardest part of P2PE is the cryptography: keys generated, distributed, loaded and administered under dual control and split knowledge, using secure cryptographic devices. This Kit builds those key-management controls to the standard, so the domain that most often fails a validation is handled first.
What one control looks like
This is the use of approved PCI PTS POI devices, where a P2PE solution begins. All 32 are built to this depth.
D1-1 Approved PCI PTS point-of-interaction devices only ENCRYPTION DEVICE
Implement this control
[Solution Provider] shall permit only PCI PTS approved point-of-interaction devices, listed on the current PTS device inventory with valid SRED functionality, to be deployed within the solution, verify each device model and firmware version against its approval expiry before provisioning, and prevent any non-approved or expired device from encrypting cardholder account data.
Assessor note.
SRED (Secure Reading and Exchange of Data) is the PTS module that governs account-data encryption at the POI; a device may be PTS approved yet lack an active SRED listing.
Evidence a P2PE assessor examines
- Device inventory cross-referenced to the PCI PTS approved device list with model, firmware, and approval expiry
- Provisioning checklist showing SRED verification before a device is activated
- Sample of rejected or quarantined devices that failed the approval check
- Firmware version report pulled from the estate management system
Common finding they raise: Devices are checked against the PTS list only at initial purchase, not re-verified against approval expiry before redeployment or firmware change.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A control you cannot evidence fails validation. This tells you exactly what a P2PE assessor examines and where validation fails, for every requirement.
- All six domains, key management first. POI devices, applications, solution management, decryption and key operations are each built, with the cryptographic key controls, the domain that fails most validations, in depth.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. A validated P2PE solution reduces PCI DSS scope for your merchants, so this work is the foundation of a compelling commercial offering.
Who buys this
P2PE solution providers and their component providers, key-injection facilities and decryption operators, plus the security and cryptography leads who own validation. Whether it is a first validation or a revalidation, you save weeks and walk in with the controls and assessment evidence ready.
By the end of the weekend you will have
✓ An adopt-ready control for all 32 requirements
✓ A completed P2PE control matrix
✓ The evidence a P2PE assessor examines
✓ Your key management under dual control defined
✓ A validation-readiness percentage and a fix list
✓ The common validation failures designed out
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Who is this for? P2PE solution providers and their component providers (key-injection facilities, decryption operators, application vendors), not merchants directly, though merchants benefit from the scope reduction.
Does it cover key management? Yes. Cryptographic key operations under dual control and split knowledge, using secure cryptographic devices, is a full control group, because it fails most validations.
Does it help merchants reduce PCI scope? A validated P2PE solution lets merchants take card data out of scope. This Kit builds the solution-side controls that make that possible.

Do not map six P2PE domains to evidence by hand.
Every P2PE requirement is fast to adopt with the Kit. It is instant, and it is guaranteed.
Add it to your cart and be validation-ready this weekend.
