What to Expect When You’re Expecting… a PCI DSS Assessment

- Read through the PCI DSS requirementsThis is a great way to assess where you currently stand and will help your Qualified Service Assessor (QSA) tailor their services to your specific needs.TIP: Be sure to take notes on anything that doesn’t make sense and/or items you want to address with your QSA.They will be able to walk you through anything that seems unclear.
- If you’ve received a letter from your merchant acquirer about becoming PCI DSS Compliant, don’t fret.Once you sign a contract with a qualified QSA or ASV, they can provide you with a Letter of Engagement which proves to your merchant acquirer that you’re in the process of becoming PCI DSS Compliant.
Timeline
