[Autogenerated] flipping 12.8 on his head.
You get requirement 12.9,
that service providers have to provide this information back to merchant,
right?
Well,
and this was the situation of where for many years I
would go to the merchant and I would say,
Tell me about your 12.8 service providers.
How are you holding them accountable?
And very often they were.
They were sort of in the suit because they weren't getting what they needed to.
But they'd already signed the contract, right?
And they were.
They were sort of stuck.
So 12.9 is intended to go to the service providers and say,
If you are providing these services to entities that require API CSS compliance,
you need to assert in your agreement or in some sort of written,
uh, substance with that that you're holding up your end,
right?
You need to You need to be the guy that's doing this correctly.
You need to be the organization that's doing this correctly, right?
And not sort of leaving the merchant holding the bag.
When is very clearly your job, The successor.
You looking for those splits of responsibilities?
You know, I always look to fight.
I always like to have a spreadsheet with what?
With 288 requirements,
and it's saying we're doing these things you're doing those things.
I think that is that is exceptionally helpful That is not expressly required.
But you know, particularly where the boundary is complex.
Uh, you know,
that division of responsibilities and and really there three columns,
right?
We do this, you do that.
Here's where we have some joint responsibilities
where we both have to do our pieces, right?
And then some annotation about Yeah, what that looks like.
Because what?
We don't like this, you know?
And that's what we used to get.
Quite a lot.
Almost all the time.
I thought you were doing that right now.
I thought you were doing it right.
And the criminal decided neither of you were doing We're doing it.
I'll do that, right?
Absolutely.
Thanks very much.
Anything else we need to think about in requiring
12.8 from an assessment perspective?
I think that's about it.
Okay, great.
Thank you, Jacob.
