During a self-assessment, ASVs should assist with all of the following EXCEPT:

• A. Helping with understanding how to address a vulnerability
• B. Helping with understanding the scan report
• C. Identifying and documenting false positives
• D. Getting service providers listed on the payment brand website

Answer: (D)

During a self-assessment, ASVs focus on helping you understand and address vulnerabilities found in external scans, and on interpreting the scan results themselves. They guide you on how to remediate issues, explain what the findings mean, and assist in identifying and documenting false positives so you’re not wasting effort on issues that aren’t real risks. Getting service providers listed on a payment brand website isn’t part of that scope; it’s outside the ASV’s role and responsibilities. Brand websites and vendor listings are managed through different processes and parties, not through the ASV’s remediation and interpretation work. So this option isn’t something an ASV would assist with during a self-assessment.
