	PCI’s Peripheral Issues: How PCI DSS v1.1. applies to wireless printers and how they can comply	06/23/2008	224 Kb

Description:	Many retailers are unwittingly out of compliance with PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) version 1.1 because they don’t realize its scope, particularly how the standard applies to peripherals. This white paper explains how PCI DSS v1.1 applies to wireless peripherals and presents options for including secure wireless printers in PCI-compliant wireless networks.
Full Abstract:	In the major effort to bring data centers and enterprise systems into PCI compliance, it’s easy to overlook a legacy stock keeping or shelf labeling application at a distant store. But it only takes one oversight to put your entire system, your customers’ data, and your merchant status at risk. Failure to support WPA or WPA2 is a leading reason many retail wireless networks aren’t in PCI compliance, but it is not the only one. There are 12 major requirements that all must be met to comply with PCI DSS v1.1. The most relevant requirements for peripherals, and tips for meeting them, are explained in the white paper.
