Explanation
According to the PCI Card Production and Provisioning Physical Security Requirements, the vendor must ensure that all non-emergency exits are configured to prevent staff tailgating. Tailgating is the act of following someone closely through a door or other entry point without proper authorization. The vendor must use access-control devices, such as turnstiles, mantraps, or biometric readers, to prevent tailgating and unauthorized access or exit. The vendor must also monitor and alarm all non-emergency exits 24/7, and have procedures to respond to any alarms or incidents. The vendor must not leave any non-emergency exits unlocked, even when a guard is present, as this may compromise the security of the facility and the card production andprovisioning materials.
