Hi Tim, I'm a little curious why you feel you have any PCI burden with a vendor that is not affiliated? Any exposure would be on them, with possible backlash being negative press for you because of selecting them. I don't see how the PCI burden transfers from vendor to host, that would be like an ISP being held responsible for a breach that occurred over the internet. -Kevin From: "Carroll, Tim" <Carrolltd () ROANESTATE EDU> To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU, Date: 01/25/2016 03:53 PM Subject: Re: [SECURITY] PCI Wireless Question for other colleges/universities Sent by: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> The previous advice you received is all correct. The only thing I would add is how you handle vendors who come on campus temporarily and want to use your network to process their payments. We handled this by requiring them (by policy and language on contracts) to use their own networks such as a cellular wireless point.

We have a few areas with payments going over wireless, but even if we changed things to not use wireless for payments, it appears that this requirement is applicable. We have taken appropriate steps to secure the terminals/computers, and had a skilled penetration testing company that was completely unable to break through to the payment terminals (or even through the network segmentation). We also have scanning in place that can detect rogue access points. I believe that the systems are secure but security isn’t compliance. In this day and age where anyone can turn their phone into an access point, there are always a number of them, most of them being transient. What have other colleges done when faced with these situations? We’re not a huge school that can afford the staff that it would take to go hunt the transient access points down. I’d appreciate anything you can share on- or off-list about this scenario.
