- Computed on this page from the inputs below
Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs entered, by the method stated below it. Attestvio publishes no rule text, no control list, no scoring scale and no benchmark gap rate: the minutes, the rates, the scales and the scopes are yours, and the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own figures.

The figures start from a worked example (20). Replace any input with your own count and the answer moves as you type; nothing is stored and nothing is sent.

A PCI scope sheet: the sizing pci compliance software does for the cardholder data environment, and that a merchant's IT lead does in a spreadsheet before the assessor's call. Give it the systems that store, process or transmit card data, the controls and evidence on each, your scan costs and the staff hours you have; it returns the yearly evidence load, the hours, the scan spend and the shortfall.
Evidence items and hours
Twelve systems at 20 controls and two evidence items is 480 items and 120 hours a year at 15 minutes each on the worked example. The count follows the scope, which is why the systems figure is the first input and why reducing scope is the cheapest control there is.
Scan spend
Four scans a year at $300 is $1,200; the figure is separated from the staff hours because one is a purchase and the other is a schedule.
Load and shortfall
120 evidence hours against 100 staff hours is 120% of the time available and 20 hours short. The sheet returns the shortfall so the choice between reducing scope, adding hours and buying help is made in advance.
Pci compliance software: what compliance officers ask first
Is this free PCI compliance software?
It is a free sheet that sizes the evidence work: enter the in-scope systems, controls, evidence items, minutes, scans and their cost, and the staff hours, and it works the items, hours, scan spend, load and shortfall on the page with no account. Attestvio Pro keeps every system with its controls and evidence.
How much work is PCI compliance for a small merchant?
Systems times controls times evidence items times minutes, over 60: 120 hours a year on the worked example, plus the scans. The sheet publishes no requirement count and works your own scope.
Does reducing scope reduce the work?
Directly: every system taken out of the cardholder-data environment removes its controls and evidence items from the sheet. The sheet shows the hours any scope costs; whether a system can leave scope is your assessor's question.
