According to the PCI CPSA Qualification Requirements, one of the administrative requirements for CPSA Companies is to adhere to the report delivery schedule as defined by the PCI SSC. The report delivery schedule specifies the deadlines for submitting the PCI Card Production Reports on Compliance (ROCs) and Attestations of Compliance (AOCs) to the PCI SSC and the payment brands. The report delivery schedule also defines the circumstances under which a CPSA Company may request an extension or a waiver of the report delivery deadline. The PCI SSC is the only entity that can approve the change in the report delivery schedule, and the CPSA Company must submit a written request to the PCI SSC with a valid reason for the delay and the proposed new delivery date. The PCI SSC will review the request and notify the CPSA Company of its decision. The PCI SSC may also notify the payment brands and the affected issuers of the change in the report delivery schedule. References: PCI CPSA Qualification Requirements, Version 1.1, April 2020, Section 6.1.4, Page 121

According to the PCI Card Production Logical Security Requirements, vendors must have a list of pre-approved third parties that are authorized to access the facility and the systems involved in card production. However, other third parties may be granted access under exceptional circumstances, such as emergency repairs or maintenance, provided that they are approved by the physical security manager or senior management. The vendor must also ensure that the third parties comply with the security policies and procedures, and that their access is logged and monitored. References: PCI Card Production Logical Security Requirements, v2.0, April 2019, page 13

According to the PCI Card Production and Provisioning Physical Security Requirements, the vendor must ensure that all non-emergency exits are configured to prevent staff tailgating. Tailgating is the act of following someone closely through a door or other entry point without proper authorization. The vendor must use access-control devices, such as turnstiles, mantraps, or biometric readers, to prevent tailgating and unauthorized access or exit. The vendor must also monitor and alarm all non-emergency exits 24/7, and have procedures to respond to any alarms or incidents. The vendor must not leave any non-emergency exits unlocked, even when a guard is present, as this may compromise the security of the facility and the card production andprovisioning materials. References: PCI Card Production and Provisioning Physical Security Requirements and Test Procedures v3.0, January 2022, pages 8-91

According to the PCI CPSA Qualification Requirements, one of the administrative requirements for CPSA Companies is to retain all applicant and employee background information on file for at least 12 months after termination of the contract of employment. This is to ensure that the CPSA Company can provide evidence of the background checks performed on the CPSA Employees or other personnel involved in card production and provisioning activities. The background checks should include criminal history, employment history, education verification, and reference checks, and should be conducted at least every two years or upon rehire. References: PCI CPSA Qualification Requirements, Version 1.1, April 2020, Section 6.1.2, Page 111

According to the PCI Card Production and Provisioning Physical Security Requirements, the vendor must have an alarm system that monitors and detects unauthorized access to the card production and provisioning facilities, and that alerts the security control room or a central monitoring service. The alarm system must also be able to identify the location and cause of the alarm, and allow authorized personnel to reset it. The alarm system must be operational 24/7, and must be tested at least annually. The vendor must also have procedures to respond to alarms and incidents, and to report them to the relevant parties. If the alarm system does not send alerts to the security control room, or a central monitoring service, during working hours, the vendor may not be able to comply with these requirements, and may not be able to prevent, detect, or respond to unauthorized access or security breaches. This may cause a problem for their assessment, as they may not meet the PCI Card Production and Provisioning Physical Security Requirements. References: PCI Card Production and Provisioning Physical Security Requirements and Test Procedures v3.0, January 2022, pages 9-101
