Attestation of Compliance (AOC)
The Attestation of Compliance is the formal validation document used to demonstrate an entity’s compliance status to interested external parties (Banks, Acquirers, customers). The AOC can be signed off by an officer of the entity (for self-assessment) or a Qualified Security Assessor (for a Report on Compliance).
