b. How your Point Vx helps you meet this requirement
The Point Vx does not allow access to critical data.
Requirement 8.3: The Point Vx does not allow direct remote access to the system. But for remote
updates via Terminal Management Systems the authentication used as part of an authenticated re-
mote software distribution framework for the PED, should be evaluated by a QSA as part of any PCI
DSS assessment.
c. What this means to you
Since the Point Vx does not allow access to critical data you do not need to take any action.
Requirement 8.3: Ask your QSA to include the remote update process in the PCI DSS assessment.
