VISA Net audit?

Our Loans Receivables group called a couple of days ago to alert me
to an audit requirement that has been imposed by Visa(Net), for whom
we are a "merchant."   The process involves a self-assessment,
together with a "Quarterly Network Security Scan" that must be
conducted by a Visa-certified third party.

Have any of you received the same notification? And how did you deal
with what we are told is a June 30 compliance date?

Regards, and thanks in advance.
