Step 4: Supply the tools that the merchant needs for PCI compliance
It is up to the acquirer to make sure that all of the tools needed for the merchant to obtain PCI certification and validation are available to the merchant.
This includes offering suggestions on partner service providers who can advice and consult with the merchants in the areas of forensic investigation, network scans (ASVs) and security assessments.
Third party providers, such as ControlScan in the model above, offer a complete checklist and procedure package for the partnering acquirer or ISO.
