How ADA Stands Fit into PCI DSS
The Taylor ADA Mounting System ensures accessibility and data security alignment. Under PCI DSS Requirement 9, cardholder devices must be protected from tampering or unauthorized relocation. ADA-compliant mounts like the Taylor ADA Mount provide secure yet accessible installation — ensuring both physical protection and independent use under ADA §309 and Cal. Fin. Code §13082(e).
Compliance Matrix
| Standard | Requirement | Taylor ADA Mount Solution |
|---|---|---|
| ADA §309 / §309.4 | Operable parts must be usable with one hand and without tight grasping or twisting. | U-shaped dismount handle enables one-hand use with minimal strength. |
| Cal. Fin. Code §13082(e) | Terminals must be fully accessible to cardholders. | Allows customer-side dismount for seated or standing use. |
| PCI DSS 9.9 | Protect devices from tampering and maintain visual inspection protocols. | Lockable base mount with tamper seals and clear inspection view. |
