MYPINPAD Achieves PCI SSC SPOC Approval for IOS Devices
7.1.2020 03:01:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
MYPINPAD (“MPP”), the global leader in secure personal authentication for payment solutions, has achieved Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council certification for its iOS Software based PIN entry on a Commercial off-the-shelf (SPoC) solution.
The UK based fintech company is amongst the world’s first to achieve certification for its innovative PIN on Mobile solution (“MPP mPOS”), evaluated by Brightsight. The solution enables everyday smartphones and tablets to replace traditional Point of Sale terminals and PIN entry mPOS devices.
MYPINPAD’s innovative SPoC solution is seen as a major enabler for the predicted massive expansion in the number of payment acceptance devices globally. The solution is easily integrated into 3rd party applications and can be delivered ‘As-a-Service’.
The cost of hardware-based PIN pads is seen as a significant barrier to global card acceptance adoption. MPP mPOS will enable even the smallest of enterprises and those in under-served economies to accept card payments, while also relieving merchants and larger retailers from the burden of purchasing and maintaining large estates of traditional POS terminals.
Importantly, PIN entry is via a standard PIN pad image (not scrambled), ensuring seamless customer adoption. The technology supports use by people with visual impairment and people with other disabilities, which is critical in certain markets, delivering the world’s first fully inclusive solution.
Phil King, CEO and Chairman, MYPINPAD, said: “MYPINPAD has been at the forefront of the thinking about and the development of PIN on Mobile since 2012. We are proud to have achieved PCI SPoC certification for IOS devices, featuring a standard non-scrambled PIN pad that consumers trust and are familiar with. We look forward to announcing the same for Android devices soon.
Since inception MYPINPAD’s commitment to this technology has been unwavering. Our platform has been designed to make available Secure Card Reader-based and contactless payment acceptance solutions, the latter called MPP SoftPOS as a software only solution, with attestation and with the pre-integration of our code inside every payShield HSM. We look forward to being able to offer on a global basis PCI SPoC certified MPP mPOS on all devices and scheme approved MPP SoftPOS on Android devices in the new year.”
"It is a pleasure to work with the creative and skilled MYPINPAD team and help bring new and innovative payment solutions to market. We look forward in continuing our partnership with MYPINPAD in the years to come." says Rob van Marrewijk, Director Business Development at Brightsight.

TEC reduces pressure on support teams with proactive outage communications powered by Adtran and GOCare11.8.2026 15:15:00 EEST | Press release
Adtran and GOCare today announced that Telephone Electronics Corporation (TEC) has improved outage responses and reduced inbound support tickets using GOCare’s OutageIQ solution integrated with Adtran’s outage notification API and Mosaic One. Serving communities across Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, TEC delivers fiber broadband services built on a foundation of community investment and reliable service.

Kinaxis-Sponsored Study Identifies Supply Chain AI Accountability Gap Amidst Rapid Adoption Expectations11.8.2026 15:07:00 EEST | Press release
Kinaxis® (TSX:KXS), a global leader in supply chain orchestration, today announced the findings of new independent research from IDC. The IDC InfoBrief, sponsored by Kinaxis, “Making Supply Chain AI Accountable,” reveals a growing chasm between organizations’ aggressive ambitions for autonomous AI adoption and their readiness to hold these advanced systems - which we believe underscores the need for a disciplined approach to AI investment and deployment to prevent costly failures and deliver measurable business value. What This Means for Supply Chain Leaders The IDC InfoBrief, which surveyed more than 2,000 supply chain leaders across nine global markets, found that while AI adoption is nearly universal - only 2% of respondents report no AI-enabled capabilities, and just 12% consider themselves AI leaders. Over half (52%) cite trust in AI-driven decisions as a top barrier to faster adoption, and just 12% say AI planning governance is fully embedded within their operations. The research
One in Four Executives Say AI Errors Have Reached External Audiences or Boards, According to New Research From Workiva11.8.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Workiva Inc. (NYSE: WK), a leading, audit-ready platform for trust, transparency, and accountability, today released findings from its 2026 Midyear Executive Benchmark Survey. Although 84% of surveyed executives say they are at least somewhat confident in the accuracy of AI output without human review, one in four (26%) say internal audits have detected AI errors that reached external audiences or board members. This data suggests there is a disconnect between what executives believe and what evidence shows. As AI reshapes the enterprise at unprecedented speed, a new risk is emerging: transformation could be outpacing the instincts of the leaders tasked with overseeing it. "Confidence in AI without control over data quality is a liability, not a strategy. CFOs need platforms that connect AI to trusted, auditable data so every output is one they can verify and every disclosure is one they can defend," said Barbara Larson, Chief Financial Officer at Workiva. "Getting this right is about
