#### 1.5 TPSP Responsibility and AOC Service-Coverage Gate

Do not treat "the provider is PCI compliant" as proof that the merchant's integration is reduced-scope. Validate the exact service consumed, the provider AOC coverage, and merchant-owned controls before confirming SAQ type or scope reduction.

| Evidence Gate | What to Verify | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| **Provider/service match** | AOC names the provider, AOC version/date are current, and covered services match the actual integration (hosted payment page, hosted fields, token vault, payment gateway, mobile SDK, webhook, dispute portal, etc.) | A provider can be PCI DSS compliant for one service while a different consumed service remains merchant-owned or shared |
| **Data-flow proof** | Diagram proves whether merchant systems store, process, or transmit PAN/SAD, and whether browser payment-page elements originate from merchant systems or the TPSP | SAQ eligibility depends on actual payment flow, not vendor marketing language |
| **Requirement-level ownership** | Responsibility matrix maps each applicable PCI DSS requirement to merchant, TPSP, or shared ownership, including Req 6.4.3, 11.6.1, 12.8.1-12.8.5, 12.9.1, and 12.9.2 | Generic "provider is responsible for PCI" language does not prove customer-owned controls are covered |
| **Customer-owned controls** | Identify merchant obligations for payment-page script authorization, change/tamper detection, integration code, vulnerability remediation, incident notification, log retention, and vendor monitoring | Outsourcing payment processing does not outsource every connected control |
| **Provider-side drift** | Review provider change notices for new scripts/domains, hosted checkout changes, token vault changes, AOC scope changes, webhook behavior, or incident-contact changes | Provider changes can alter SAQ eligibility and merchant responsibilities before the next annual review |
| **Monitoring cadence** | Annual TPSP compliance monitoring is complete, and significant provider changes trigger scope/SAQ reassessment outside the annual cycle | Req 12.8 monitoring can fail if it is treated as a once-a-year checkbox |

```
TPSP Evidence Record:
- Provider: [Legal/provider name]
- Service Consumed: [Hosted page | hosted fields | token vault | gateway API | mobile SDK | webhook | other]
- Integration Pattern: [Redirect | iframe | direct post | hosted fields | API | SDK]
- Current AOC: [Version/date/status]
- AOC Covered Services: [Services named in AOC]
- Merchant-Used Service: [Exact service and product name]
- Coverage Match: [Yes | No | Partial | Unknown]
- Responsibility Matrix: [Present | Missing | Generic only]
- Customer-Owned Controls: [List PCI DSS requirements and owners]
- Provider Change Monitoring:[Owner, cadence, last review date]
- SAQ Impact: [SAQ A | SAQ A-EP | SAQ D | ROC | Unknown -- explain]
```

If service coverage, data-flow proof, or responsibility ownership is missing, classify scope reduction as unproven. Do not downgrade an SAQ or mark payment-page requirements not applicable until the exact consumed service and merchant-owned controls are documented.

5. **Failing to manage third-party service provider (TPSP) compliance.** Requirement 12.8 and 12.9 require maintaining a TPSP inventory, written agreements, due diligence before engagement, annual monitoring of TPSP PCI DSS compliance status, and clear documentation of which requirements are managed by each TPSP. The shared responsibility model must be explicitly documented.

6. **Assuming a provider AOC covers every consumed service.** A provider can have a current AOC for hosted checkout while the merchant uses hosted fields, a gateway API, token vault, mobile SDK, or webhook that is not clearly listed in the AOC scope. Match the AOC covered services to the exact integration before reducing scope.

7. **Missing provider-side change drift.** Hosted checkout scripts, iframe domains, payment-page headers, tokenization services, webhook payloads, and incident contacts can change between annual AOC reviews. Significant provider changes should trigger scope, SAQ, and responsibility-matrix reassessment.
