Privacy Shield
The PCI Security Standards Council specifies International Standard
ISO9564 for protection against fraudulent observation of the PIN during
PIN entry.
To comply with this standard, your terminal may be supplied with either a
pre-fitted Privacy Shield, or as an optional accessory for you to choose to
fit yourself.
You must have a Privacy Shield fitted to the terminal unless one of the
statements below is true:
You only perform keyed transactions, e.g. in a mail-order business
Cardholders enter their PIN into the separate S9-PCI PIN Pad
Cardholders can enter their PIN while holding the terminal in their hand
(as with the M4200; a privacy shield is not supplied as standard with
the M4200)
