Description

Azure Payments HSM v2 is a highly available, single-tenant Payment HSM service for payment processing, credential issuance, PIN processing, key management, and authentication data protection. Customers retain exclusive administrative control of an isolated, single-tenant Payment HSM cluster while Microsoft manages the underlying infrastructure, availability, and lifecycle operations. Azure Payments HSM v2 enables customers to protect sensitive payment assets, maintain key sovereignty, and meet the stringent security, compliance, audit, performance, and operational requirements of the Payment Card Industry (PCI). 

Azure Payment HSM v2 runs in PCI DSS and PCI 3DS compliant Azure data centers, on security infrastructure certified to FIPS 140-3 Level 3, PCI DSS, PCI 3DS, and PCI PIN (PTS). Because payment HSM clusters are isolated per customer, customers can deploy the service as a validated component within their own PCI solution, simplifying ongoing audit and compliance.
