All external network reports must be reviewed and attested by your Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) before they can be submitted to your acquiring banks or QSA for PCI certification. These reports are used for meeting the quarterly external network scanning requirement. You can request a review of your network reports from within the report generation wizard or from the Submitted Reports list (see below).
Go to Compliance > Submitted Reports. Identify the reports you want to send to the ASV for review and click the Request Review link in the Next Action column, and then click the Request Review Now button to confirm the action.
The ASV is notified of your request for review and the report status changes to Pending Review in the Status column on the Submitted Reports list. You are notified by email once the review is complete.
Once the ASV has attested (approved) the report, the report status is Attested. At this point, you can download the network reports and send them to your acquiring banks for PCI certification. If you have banks defined in your account, a Submit link appears in the Next Action column allowing you to submit the report to your banks through the web application. See Submit Your Network Reports.
If the ASV has rejected the report, then the report status is changed to Rejected. Work directly with the ASV to resolve open issues and then request another review by clicking the Resubmit for Review link in the Next Action column. Repeat this process until the report is attested by the ASV.
