October 31, 2024 – Atlanta, GA – Bluefin, a leader in PCI-validated encryption and tokenization technologies that protect payments and sensitive data, and Datacap Systems, Inc., a leading hardware and processor-agnostic omnichannel payments provider, announced they are partnering to deliver PCI-Validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) Processing to hospitality businesses across the United States and Canada.

Bluefin is Datacap’s preferred provider to the hospitality industry for PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) devices, reducing a customer’s PCI DSS compliance burden by more than 70% and PCI control scope reduction at the point-of-sale environment by more than 90%. The partnership will help secure and protect payments for the hospitality industry which is highly vulnerable to data breaches: According to industry estimates, up to 31% of hospitality organizations have reported a data breach, and 89% have been affected more than once in a year. 


"The Datacap team understands the critical importance of protecting payments and data from compromise across all channels," said Drew Monroe, Chief Revenue Officer. "By integrating Bluefin’s PCI-validated point-to-point encryption with Datacap’s industry-leading payments solutions we are empowering hospitality providers to benefit from enhanced security, streamlined compliance, and seamless payment experiences."
