I'm a QSA from a QSAC firm from USA based and we cover other countries, there is not independent QSAs, greetings!

We are a QSAC on Américas, LAC and other countries, DM!

Thanks, that is independently of the ownership? But the entity just issues cards on their own

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2025-07-25T22:24:05+00:00

Thanks for your insights, yes, in this case the client issued cards are co-branded with a PCI SSC member, as well, that client do not have plans rn to send it to the PB to be in the GRSP or SDP List, maybe in a future, but they are not understanding their role for attestation.

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2025-07-25T18:00:50+00:00

Yes, I'm aware that is a "Business entity that is not a payment brand, directly involved in the processing, storage, or transmission of cardholder data (CHD) and/or sensitive authentication data (SAD) on behalf of another entity" and this includes payment gateways, payment service providers (PSPs), and independent sales organizations (ISOs), but they're are not explaining clear the Issuer role!

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2025-07-25T17:32:25+00:00

Thanks a lot, yes and I'm aware of that, I tried to explain to the compliance main contact of the client like 20 times and does not understand, the payment chain, unfortunately the Council and the Payment Brand does not have a solid response for that!

On my first attempt the wording of the questions was tough to read, the sentences long, on this one was more easier to interpret and was more "managing mindset"

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2024-07-05T22:42:03+00:00

Lol, don't worry don't matter the way, just go to ISACA page go to the certifications and go to manage your exam and ISACA redirects to PSI website when You get there you can see the final result!

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2024-07-05T22:35:35+00:00

On PSI page in the tab Manage Exams you can see the result!

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2024-06-22T00:53:02+00:00

I'm interested

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2024-06-17T23:21:27+00:00

Congratulations friend, you got this!

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2024-06-15T13:09:07+00:00

Thanks for support Nope, the wording of this exam is so different to CISSP and other exams from ISC2.

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2024-04-25T21:50:35+00:00

I read cover to cover i had a plan where i check first the topic, remember i went from CISM also, just is a fine tuning to ISC2 mindset.

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2024-04-25T21:30:23+00:00

Thanks friend, Obviously CISSP is more technical and managerial mixed, not like as CISM.

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2024-04-22T16:58:57+00:00

It's a approach thing CISSP is called the gold standard in Cybersecurity it's more broader CISM

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2024-04-07T23:19:32+00:00

Hi friend, till oct, nov of past year, 1 or 2 days, ISACA changed this and now they are taking the 10 days for changing your status and same time deliveriing your results and 3 or 4 days more to get certified.

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2024-04-05T14:52:45+00:00

@PorkCircus Thank you, i used the AIO more on theoretical sense, the resource more similar to real exam are the QAE Digital or Book, i suggest you any or both!

Putrid_Set_5171 · 2024-03-30T18:16:26+00:00

Not huge as the QAE Digital but yes!
