02COMPLETE CERTIFICATION LIFECYCLE
One managed path from scope to transition.
Each stage has defined owners, entry criteria, evidence, decisions, and exit conditions so the program can move forward without losing context.

03ENGAGEMENT OPTIONS
A delivery model shaped around your certification path.
Use a managed workstream, embed an experienced payment project lead, establish a certification control room, or work through your approved delivery toolchain.
Embedded project lead
Place an experienced payment project manager inside the customer program to lead certification alongside internal and third-party teams.
Certification control room
Coordinate readiness reviews, test windows, daily execution, defect triage, evidence gaps, decisions, and cross-party follow-up.
Customer toolchain delivery
Run the engagement through the customer’s approved project, documentation, ticketing, reporting, and governance tools when required.
04DELIVERABLES & VISIBILITY
Keep readiness, evidence, blockers, and decisions visible.
Governance artifacts are maintained as working controls throughout the engagement—not assembled only when a status meeting or submission is due.
Delivery baseline
Engagement charter, confirmed scope, integrated plan, milestone baseline, RACI, governance calendar, and RAID register.
Readiness and traceability
Requirement-to-test-and-evidence mapping, environment readiness, open gaps, dependencies, owners, and gate status.
Test and defect status
Execution progress, outcomes, blockers, defect ownership and aging, remediation, retest, and externally issued decisions.
Submission and transition
Indexed evidence, submission and response history, decision records, production-readiness status, and operating handover materials.

05CERTIFICATION & PCI DSS
Certification readiness with clear approval boundaries
Solvvit coordinates readiness, schedules, evidence, issues, decisions, and communication across the certification program. The engagement does not replace the responsible certification or assessment authority.
Payment-product or network certification and PCI DSS validation are separate processes. Solvvit can coordinate PCI DSS readiness activities—including scope workshops, responsibility mapping, evidence collection, remediation tracking, and work with the customer’s assessor—but does not represent readiness support as an assessment, attestation, certification, or guarantee of compliance.
- Separate product or network certification requirements from PCI DSS validation activities
- Assign requirement, test, evidence, remediation, and approval owners
- Maintain traceability across tests, defects, submissions, and decisions
- Coordinate networks, laboratories, acquirers, processors, and assessors as applicable
Approval authority matters.
Certification criteria, assessment conclusions, acceptance, formal approval, and production authorization remain with the applicable payment network, scheme, acquirer, processor, laboratory, qualified assessor, program owner, or other authorized party.
06ENGAGEMENT MODEL
Fit the service to your program and authority path.
Delivered as a time-bound professional-services engagement, an embedded project-management capability, or a managed PMO workstream. Scope is tailored to the applicable product or network certification path, customer systems, third parties, environments, and governance. Solvvit can coordinate the process end to end, while timelines, test windows, acceptance, certification, and production authorization remain subject to the responsible authorities.
