Hold Your Horses

UPDATE: The ROC Reporting Template is available as a PDF on the Document Library page after the Reporting Template and Forms banner almost all the way down the page. The Word version of the ROC Reporting Template is now available from the PCI Portal. No word yet on the PA-DSS and ROV Reporting Template.

Yes, the PCI SSC released the final version of the PCI DSS v3.2, an updated Glossary and Summary of Changes document on their Web site this morning, but we are missing a key piece.  The Report On Compliance (ROC) Reporting Template.

Why is that important you might ask?

The ROC Reporting Template is the document that contains all of the tests that a QSA/ISA needs to conduct to prove that an organization is PCI compliant.  It tells you and your QSA/ISA the evidence needed to gather, how to gather the evidence and level of effort required.  Without that information, an assessment under v3.2 cannot be performed.  Let alone do we truly know the breadth and depth of the changes the Council has made.

The Council promised on their Webinar a month ago that all documents would be released on the same date.  But as of this writing, the ROC Reporting Template is missing in action.

Until we have that document, we have nothing.

Also of note is that the PA-DSS v3.2 and its related Report On Validation Reporting Template are also missing in action as well.

    The PDF version is out now of the ROC reporting template. Still waiting on the Word version.

    I haven’t checked the Portal yet for the Word version, but the PDF version is in the public documents library now.

      That is still the PCI DSS and not the ROC Reporting Template. Supposedly the Reporting Template will be available late tomorrow, April 29. Taht template was typically only available on the Portal, not through the general Web site.

    They same on the same day so there’s still time left but I agree that it would’ve been best if they had provided the DSS and SAQ/AOC/ROC at the same time. As you pointed, the standard itself is useless without the assessment documents.
