SUNMI has long treated payment security as a core competency, strictly implementing standards like PCI DSS across tens of millions of its intelligent terminals deployed in over 200 countries. Advancements such as optimized Android data encryption, remote patch management systems, and simplified "one-click compliance" tools for small merchants have established SUNMI as a pioneer in standards implementation.

As a PPO, SUNMI will now collaborate with other industry leaders like Amazon, Apple, and Qualcomm in the standards-setting process. The company will contribute real-world, "terminal-side" insights—covering Android security optimizations, IoT device authentication, and multi-scenario payment adaptations—ensuring new standards are practical and address the diverse needs across the payment value chain.

SUNMI will focus on three key areas:

1.     Providing practical knowledge on Android optimization, device management, and scenario-specific adaptations.

2.     Helping develop frameworks that accommodate emerging technologies like IoT and AI.

3.     Advocating for standards that secure the entire payment value chain, from terminals to cloud services.

"Being a PPO is not just a title; it's a mission," said Sam Su , Rotating President and CMO of SUNMI. "We will now embed the practical experience from millions of global devices into the very DNA of future security standards, helping build a more resilient and trustworthy digital commerce environment for all."

During the Bangkok event, SUNMI met with PCI SSC Executive Director Gina Gobeyn and Asia-Pacific Vice President Yew Kuann Cheng. Gobeyn noted, "SUNMI's terminal expertise is invaluable. We look forward to their 'on-the-ground' perspective, helping ensure our standards remain relevant to merchants and consumers."

As a PPO, SUNMI will actively participate in key PCI SSC working groups, focusing on terminal and IoT security, to bridge the gap between standard setters and end-users.

The PCI Security Standards Council is a global forum that develops, maintains, and drives adoption of data security standards to protect payment accounts worldwide.
