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.

A PCI audit sheet: the arithmetic behind a pci dss compliance audit before the assessor quotes it. Give it the requirements you assess, the sub requirements under each, minutes per line item, your gap rate and the hours a gap takes to close; it returns the line items, the assessment hours, the gaps to expect, the remediation hours and the all in cost. The gap rate is yours, not a benchmark.
Line items and assessment hours
Twelve requirements at 20 sub-requirements is 240 line items and 60 hours at 15 minutes each on the worked example. The sub-requirement count follows the standard's structure and your scope; the sheet works the hours.
Gaps and remediation
6% of 240 items is 14 gaps and 72 remediation hours at five each. The rate is yours from the last assessment; the sheet publishes no benchmark.
The all-in cost
60 assessment hours plus 72 remediation hours at $95 is $12,540. The figure budgets the assessment and its aftermath together, which is what the merchant actually pays.
Pci dss compliance audit: what compliance officers ask first
How much does a PCI DSS compliance audit cost?
Assessment hours plus remediation hours, times the hourly cost: $12,540 on the worked example for 240 line items at a 6% gap rate. The free sheet on this site works it from six figures with no account.
What gap rate should I enter?
Your own, from the last assessment; the sheet publishes no benchmark and the worked example's 6% is arithmetic. What the sheet shows is what any rate costs in remediation hours.
Does the sheet keep the assessment?
No. The sheet works the size and cost on the page, free, and keeps nothing. Attestvio Pro keeps every assessment with its gaps and remediation against the systems in scope.
