Which statement about the Attestation of Compliance (AOC) is correct?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Attestation of Compliance (AOC):

The AOC is a document that confirms an entity's compliance with PCI DSS requirements. It is signed by the entity (merchant or service provider) and the Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) if a QSA is involved.

Different AOC Templates:

PCI DSS provides distinct templates for service providers and merchants, tailored to their respective roles and responsibilities within the cardholder data environment (CDE).

Invalid Options:

B: PCI SSC does not sign AOCs; they are signed by the merchant/service provider and the QSA.

C: AOCs differ between ROCs and SAQs, so the same template is not universally used.

D: Both the merchant/service provider and the QSA/ISA (Internal Security Assessor) must sign the AOC when applicable.

I think the AOC can be signed by either the merchant or the QSA, but I might be mixing it up with another document.

Ah, this is a tricky one. I remember there being some differences between the AOC requirements for merchants versus service providers, but I can't quite recall the specifics. I'll have to think this through step-by-step to figure out the right answer.

I think the answer is D - the AOC only needs to be signed by either the merchant/service provider or the QSA/ISA. I'm fairly confident about that, but I'll double-check the details just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the AOC is an important part of PCI compliance, but I can't recall the specifics of the different templates or signing requirements. I'll have to review my notes carefully.

Haha, the PCI SSC probably has a template for 'The AOC Must Be Signed in Triplicate by the CEO, CFO, and the Family Dog' just to make things more complicated.

I agree with Hester, because the AOC is a document that confirms compliance with PCI DSS and it makes sense that it needs to be signed by the merchant/service provider or the QSA/ISA.
