Once PCI SSC receives the completed P-ROV(s) and all other required materials and applicable fees, PCI SSC reviews the submission from a quality-assurance perspective and determines whether it is acceptable. Subsequent iterations will also be responded to, typically within 30 calendar days of receipt. If the P-ROV(s) meet all applicable quality assurance requirements (as documented in the QSA Qualification Requirements and related P2PE Program materials), PCI SSC sends a countersigned P-AOV to both the P2PE Vendor and the P2PE Assessor Company and adds the product to the List of Validated P2PE Solutions, List of Validated P2PE Components, or List of Validated P2PE Applications, as applicable.

PCI SSC communicates any quality issues associated with P-ROVs to the P2PE Assessor Company. It is the responsibility of the P2PE Assessor Company to resolve those issues with PCI SSC and/or the P2PE Vendor, as applicable. Such issues may be limited or more extensive:

• Limited issues …

PCI SSC’s Assessor Quality Management Team (“AQM”) reviews each P-ROV submission after the invoice for the P2PE Acceptance Fee has been paid by the P2PE Vendor. Administrative review will be performed in “pre-screening” to ensure that the submission is complete prior to AQM review, during which an AQM Analyst reviews the submission in its entirety.

The AQM Analyst will review the P2PE submission first to determine whether the candidate P2PE Product is eligible for validation as described in the P2PE Program Guide. If there are questions as to eligibility, the AQM Analyst will contact the P2PE Assessor Company for additional information. If the P2PE submission is determined to be ineligible for validation under the P2PE Program, the P-ROV will be rejected. The P2PE Assessor Company will receive a letter of rejection with instructions for optionally appealing.

If the P2PE submission is complete and is determined to be eligible for validation under the …

If administrative or minor quality problems are detected, PCI SSC will typically recommend participation in Remediation. Remediation provides an opportunity for P2PE Assessor Companies and/or Employees to improve performance by working closely with PCI SSC staff; in the absence of participation, quality issues may persist or increase. Additionally, Remediation helps to assure that the baseline standard of quality for P2PE Assessor Companies and/or Employees is upheld. Refer to the QSA Qualification Requirements for further detail on the Remediation Process.
Added p. 45
Note: If a Listed P2PE Solution, P2PE Component or P2PE Application is compromised due to P2PE Assessor Company and/or Employee error, that P2PE Assessor Company and/or Employee may immediately be placed into Remediation or its P2PE qualification status revoked.

The P2PE Assessor Company and/or P2PE Assessor Employee may appeal the Revocation but, unless otherwise approved by PCI SSC in writing in each instance, will not be permitted to perform P2PE Assessments, process P-ROVs, or otherwise participate in the P2PE Program pending resolution of the appeal. The P2PE Assessor Company and/or P2PE Assessor Employee may reapply at a later date of two years after Revocation, so long as it has demonstrated to PCI SSC's satisfaction that it meets all applicable QSA, P2PE Assessor and, if applicable, PA-QSA requirements, as documented in the relevant PCI SSC program documents.

A Delta Change does not change the Listed P2PE Product’s Annual Revalidation date or its Reassessment date.

5.2.2. P2PE Application Changes and Version Numbers All P2PE Application changes must result in a new application version number; however, whether this affects the version number specified within the P2PE Product Listing on the Website depends on the nature of the change and the Vendor’s validated versioning methodology. The use of wildcards may be permitted for managing the versioning methodology for non-security-impacting changes only.

Only those P2PE Applications that have had the P2PE Vendor’s wildcard versioning …

6. Lifecycle for Listed P2PE Products A Listed P2PE Product, upon Acceptance and being Listed as the result of a Full Assessment, remains Validated for 3 years based on the date of the most recent Acceptance, provided it satisfies the Program Requirements as described herein.

At the end of the 3-year lifecycle, P2PE Vendors have the option of undergoing a Reassessment as described herein to renew the Listing for their P2PE Product.

Figure 6: Listed P2PE Product 3-Year Lifecycle 6.1. Annual Revalidation of Listed P2PE Products The Annual Revalidation process requires the P2PE Vendor to attest to and account for their Listed P2PE Product continuing to adhere to the P2PE Standard and Program Requirements via their submittal of the appropriate P-AOV.

The first Annual Revalidation is required one calendar year after the most recent date of Acceptance based on the last Full Assessment, and the second Annual Revalidation is required one calendar year …

P-ROV Preparation and Submission:

The P2PE Assessor Company must complete the applicable P-ROV(s) in accordance with the Program Requirements. If the P2PE Assessor determines there are items that need to be addressed, the P2PE Vendor must address those items, and the P2PE Assessor Company must update the P- ROV(s) prior to submission to PCI SSC. Once the P2PE Assessor Company is satisfied that all documented issues have been resolved by the P2PE Vendor, the P2PE Assessor Company submits the P-ROV(s) and all other required materials to PCI SSC on behalf of the P2PE Vendor. As stated in the P2PE Qualification Requirements and the P2PE Assessor Addendum, P2PE Assessors are required to meet all quality assurance standards set by PCI SSC.

PCI SSC P-ROV Submission Review Once PCI SSC receives the completed P-ROV(s) and all other required materials and applicable fees, PCI SSC reviews the submission from a quality-assurance perspective and determines whether …

P-ROV(s) that have been returned to the P2PE Assessor Company for correction must be resubmitted to PCI SSC within 30 calendar days of the preceding submission (clearly denoting and communicating the cumulative changes within the document(s), including redline as applicable). If resubmitting to PCI SSC within 30 calendar days is not possible, the P2PE Assessor Company must inform PCI SSC of the timeline for response. Lack of response on P-ROV(s) returned to the P2PE Assessor Company for correction may result in the submission being closed. Submissions that have been closed will not be reopened and must be resubmitted as if they are new P-ROV submissions.

When undergoing a P2PE Assessment, ‘Not Applicable’ cannot be used by entities that provide only partial aspects of a defined P2PE Component Provider service to validate to that P2PE Component Provider type.
