 Card personalization is the process of transferring cardholder information, such as account number, name, expiration date, and other data, to a payment card. This can be done by various methods, such as magnetic stripe encoding, embossing, laser engraving, or chip programming. Chip programming is the method of personalizing a card that has an embedded microchip that can store and process data. Chip cards can support contact or contactless transactions, depending on the chip type and the terminal capabilities. Contact transactions require the card to be inserted into a reader, while contactless transactions use radio frequency (RF) communication between the card and the reader. The vendor in the question is performing card personalization by programming the chip and verifying the data on the card. References:

According to the PCI Card Production Physical Security Requirements, one of the security controls for contracted guard services is to ensure that they maintain their own liability insurance in case of losses to card material. This is to protect the card production vendor from any financial losses or damages caused by the contracted guard service, such as negligence,theft, or misuse of card material. The contracted guard service should also comply with the vendor’s security policies and procedures, and undergo background checks and security training. References: PCI Card Production Physical Security Requirements, Version 1.0, April 2019, Section 1.1, Objective 2, Requirement 2.2.1, Page 71
