The compliance date and tasks depend on the defined level for your
institution, which is based upon the number of yearly transactions.

Subject: [SECURITY] 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.
