About CPoC Certification

The CPoC certification applies to solutions that enable merchants to accept contactless payments using a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) mobile device (smartphone or tablet) with near-field communication (NFC). The certificate was developed by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council. The PCI CPoC Standard includes security requirements for vendors on how to protect payment data in CPoC solutions and test requirements for laboratories to evaluate these solutions through the supporting validation program. The PCI CPoC Standard and Program documents are available on the PCI SSC website.
