Re: Anyone have a PCI/DSS 3.1 Compliant Unattended Payment Terminal Solution?

At a conference I attended earlier this year a similar topic came up.  The consensus was that if the kiosk is in close 
proximity to a payment office then it is automatically considered in scope based on proximity alone even if that is not 
the purpose.  If the intended purpose is for payment then it would certainly be in scope as far as PCI.

Mandi,

While admittedly no a PCI expert, I think I know it pretty well.  I'm a bit
confused as to what it is you are looking for.  If the payment page is
securely hosted, and the CDN is properly protected, then a kiosk machine on
your network is no different from a student user a computer at home to make
the same payment.

This kiosk would have to be pretty tightly controlled to ensure no physical
or software key loggers are installed, and routinely malware/virus scanned.
I'd lock it down with GPO or a specialized software to ensure integrity.

I assume there are other machines on your network where employees are able
to enter CC#, isn't this the same basic concept?

I guess I'm missing the part of PCI you are looking to satisfy aside from
those listed above?

-Kevin

We have a strong desire by administration to provide a payment
terminal/kiosk for students to may payments.  We have always had issues
providing a compliant kiosk, and in fact have stripped them out of our
environment because we don’t have the manpower to maintain it.

Is anyone using (or know of) hardware/service to outsource this
functionality?

Thanks,
mandi
