Importance of Daily Pin Pad Audit

 

 

As a reminder to our retail store operations team, we would like to stress the importance of the daily pin pad audit. 

Why is this important?  As a company we have an obligation to protect the payment security of our customers and company.  

What do we look for when performing an audit?  You should evaluate the Pin Pads and surrounding areas for items that are out of place. Ensure that someone has not tampered with the pin pad or placed a device on the pin pad.  

Do I need to keep a log of my audits?  Yes, as part of your standard daily operational procedure and to maintain PCI compliance, it is expected that each store keep a daily log showing that a pin pad audit was completed.  

What do I do if I find something?  We ask that you contact the IT Service Desk at: 800-287-6583 immediately.  We can’t stress enough the importance of a rapid response.

Thank you,
