5_2 Security of your terminal
Your device fulls current applicable PCI PTS security requirements.
Upon receipt of your terminal you should check for signs of tampering
of the equipment. It is strongly advised that these checks are
performed regularly after receipt. You should check, for example: that
the keypad is rmly in place; that there is no evidence of unusual wires
that have been connected to any ports on your terminal or associated
equipment, the chip card reader, or any other part of your terminal.
Such checks would provide warning of any unauthorized modications
to your terminal, and other suspicious behaviour of individuals that
have access to your terminal. Your terminal detects any “tampered
state”. In this state the terminal will repeatedly ash the message
“Warning Detected” and further use of the terminal will not be possible.
If you observe the “Warning Detected” message, you should contact
the terminal helpdesk immediately.
You are strongly advised to ensure that privileged access to your
terminal is only granted to staff that have been independently veried
as being trustworthy. The terminal must never be put in or left at a
location where it could be stolen or replaced by another device.
5_3 Fixed installation
If the device is to be used in a situation where it is not possible for the
cardholder to pick up and shield their PIN entry themselves, the device
may be used, but it must be installed in the following manner:
The device must be angled at 45 or more, so that oversight of the
PIN entry from the rear of the device is not possible.
The device must either be tted in a swivel stand – so that the
customer can position the device in the best angle to prevent
oversight – or the device must be xed in the best possible
position to prevent oversight if such a generic position exists in
the specic environment to which the device is installed.
The device environment must be accompanied with conspicuous
notices and educational material which informs the customer to
shield their PIN during PIN entry.
