Re: PCI compliance question

My understanding is if your one card  is also a credit card and is subject to PCI then all hardware that accept the 
card must be compliant.  This would include vending door access and laundry.

Subject: [SECURITY] PCI compliance question

We are struggling with a PCI compliance issue and have been asked to query this list.  We have vending machines (drink, 
snack, laundry, etc.) on our network that are being setup for use with our university "one card" system.  The readers 
on these machines will transmit and process our cards just fine.  However, when someone uses a CC it is transmitted to 
the card system/server, but the system ignores it and does not process the transaction.

The big question:  are the vending machines considered in-scope for PCI?  If so, that means a lot of other things will 
be too.

Thanks.
