According to the PCI Card Production Physical Security Requirements, the goods-tools trap is a secure area that separates the HSA from the outside world, and is used to control the entry and exit of card products, tools, and other materials. The goods-tools trap must have two doors that are interlocked, meaning that only one door can be opened at a time. The goods-tools trap must also have a CCTV camera and an alarm system. The process of bringing card products into the HSA using the goods-tools trap must follow these steps1:

• The card products must be delivered to the goods-tools trap by authorized personnel, who must present their identification to the guard and sign a delivery note.
• The guard must verify the identification of the personnel and the quantity and quality of the card products, and record the details in a log.
• The guard must then escort the personnel to the first door of the goods-tools trap, and open it using a key or a card reader. The personnel must place the card products inside the goods-tools trap and exit the area. The guard must then lock the first door.
• The guard must then notify the production staff inside the HSA that the card products are ready to be collected. The production staff must present their identification to the guard and sign a receipt note.
• The guard must then escort the production staff to the second door of the goods-tools trap, and open it using a key or a card reader. The production staff must collect the card products from the goods-tools trap and enter the HSA. The guard must then lock the second door.

In this scenario, the guard escorted the production staff, along with the box, into the pre-press room. This is not compliant, because the guard is not authorized to enter the HSA, and the card products must remain under dual control at all times. The guard should have stayed outside the HSA and only opened the second door of the goods-tools trap for the production staff. This would ensure that the card products are securely transferred from the goods-tools trap to the HSA, and that the guard does not compromise the security of the HSA. References:

 Card personalization is the process of transferring cardholder information, such as account number, name, expiration date, and other data, to a payment card. This can be done by various methods, such as magnetic stripe encoding, embossing, laser engraving, or chip programming. Chip programming is the method of personalizing a card that has an embedded microchip that can store and process data. Chip cards can support contact or contactless transactions, depending on the chip type and the terminal capabilities. Contact transactions require the card to be inserted into a reader, while contactless transactions use radio frequency (RF) communication between the card and the reader. The vendor in the question is performing card personalization by programming the chip and verifying the data on the card. References:

According to the PCI Card Production Physical Security Requirements, the CCTV and access control servers must be located within the Security Control Room (SCR) or a room with equivalent security. This means that the room must have the same level of physical protection as the SCR, such as locks, alarms, sensors, cameras, and access control devices. The purpose of this requirement is to prevent unauthorized access, tampering, or theft of the servers that store and process sensitive data related to card production and security. References: PCI Card Production Physical Security Requirements, v2.0, April 2019, page 16
