Added p. 24
Annually, by the interim assessment due date (i.e., 12 months after each Acceptance), the P2PE Solution Provider is required to submit an updated Solution AOV, performing the “interim assessment steps.” As a courtesy, PCI SSC will endeavor to provide notification via email to the P2PE Vendor Contact (listed on the P-AOV) within 90 days of revalidation/reassessment, but it is the sole responsibility of the P2PE Vendor to maintain the listing regardless of the successful receipt of courtesy reminder(s).

(i) Update the List of Validated P2PE Solutions on the PCI SSC website accordingly with the new information; and (ii) Sign and return a copy of the Solution AOV to both the P2PE Solution Provider and the P2PE Assessor. The Revalidation Date and Reassessment Date of this P2PE Solution will remain unchanged i.e. an administrative change has no impact on the Revalidation Date or Reassessment Date of a listed P2PE Solution.

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, and then an AQM Analyst will review the submission in its entirety.

The AQM Analyst will review the P2PE submission first to determine whether it is eligible for validation as described in the P2PE Program Guide. If there is question 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 optional instructions for appealing this rejection.

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

While a P2PE Solution may include applications that were evaluated per relevant requirements in the P2PE Standard, those are not listed within the P2PE Solution or within the List of Validated P2PE Applications. Any use of such an application in another P2PE Solution would require either independent listing as a P2PE Application, if eligible, or assessment as part of each P2PE Solution the application is part of.

P2PE Version “P2PE Version” is used by PCI SSC to denote the standard, and the specific version thereof, used to assess the compliance of a Validated P2PE Solution.

Each calendar year all P2PE Assessors submitting reports to PCI SSC are subject to an audit of their submissions.

The audit process is a more formalized method of review involving a robust evaluation of the P2PE Assessor’s work. The audit will evaluate the work product of the P2PE Assessor for a set of P-ROVs and related materials. The audit process will encompass the report submission (P-ROV), along with an evaluation of work papers and the P2PE Assessor’s internal Quality Assurance manual. This will help to ensure the organization’s internal Quality Assurance processes are being followed. Additionally, the
