[Autogenerated] the car brands have listings of service providers.
Yes.
Does the service provider has to be listed listed on that car brand listing?
Not necessarily.
Uh,
and And I've have a lot of service provider clients that
don't seek that card brand listing.
Uh,
there are some other steps that you have to go through with the payment
brands to get on the list beyond just having a compliant AOC.
And, you know,
many a lot of service provide a lot of entities who are essentially service
providers because their clients want them to be right.
They're not connected to the payments directly there providing,
you know, infrastructure as a service or they're providing,
you know, some other technology service,

particularly after version three of peace AD DS s has a
lot of substance and a lot more than it used to about what
was done in the assessment.
And you need to know that you can match that up with
what you're expecting them to cover.
Or, more importantly, what was not done in the U.

Also that you know, if you're looking at a zoo you saw in the theory course,
if you look at an AOC and it's got not applicable in lots of requirements,
you need to be asking, why wasn't that applicable?
Because if I'm thinking about how you architect that type
of service that would be applicable, right?
Or or it does that matter to what I'm using them for, right?
Yeah,
I'm expecting them to store cardholder data and they're saying a bunch
of things in requirement three or not applicable.
You know, it doesn't sound right
