How it Works?

A holistic approach to security has established a set of controls and strict compliance with federal, financial, international, and industry regulations and policies such as ISO 27001 and NIST 800-53.

Data center physical security

  • Financial institutions utilize their generated key to encrypt data sent during the processing of instant issuance cards
  • Cardholder data is kept by Entrust only for the duration of the transaction

Data center physical security

  • Customer instant issuance requests are processed
    in a high security area (HSA) within the data center that includes cameras, motion detectors, and a security guard
  • HSA access requires personnel verification process and two accompanying employees
  • Visitors must be escorted at all times by two employees and pre-registered

Incident monitoring and response

  • 24/7 Security Operation Center monitors Entrust’s information technology infrastructure and deals with security on a global organizational level
