PCI DSS ROC software,
built for QSAs.

The report is the product. Most tools never touch it.

A Report on Compliance is the assessor’s formal report of a PCI DSS assessment — signed by a QSA, relied on by the client’s acquirer and card brands. Compliance-automation platforms (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe) help the assessed entity collect evidence — none of them produces a ROC. Kliper is the assessor’s tool: template-native, citation-tied, QA-reviewed, exported with its AoC.

Every response cites its evidence — including who you interviewed.

Assessor responses reference evidence by tag, and interviewees by their initials from the executive-summary roster. Hover any reference and Kliper shows exactly which document — or which person — it points to.

• Tags resolve to real documents in the evidence registry
• Interviewee references resolve to the §6 roster
• Ambiguous references are flagged, never guessed

Cortex drafts the justification. From your citations. Or not at all.

When the responses cite evidence, Cortex drafts the finding justification from those citations — and shows what it saw per reporting instruction. When they don’t, it refuses and lists what’s missing.

• Grounded only in resolved citations
• No citations, no draft — the gate runs before the model
• Review, edit, accept — nothing applied automatically

Nothing ships un-reviewed.

Requirements move through a review queue — drafted, in review, sent back, done — then the ROC exports as print-ready PDF or editable Word, and the AoC is generated from the same data. Incomplete assessments are told exactly what’s missing.

An AI reviewer that tells you how much to trust it.

Cortex reviews every requirement’s justification against the official text and flags gaps — “no justification provided”, “doesn’t address all required elements” — with the exact missing element quoted. Every verdict carries a CRESS score (Confidence & Reliability Evaluation Scoring System): how much to trust that verdict, computed from signals that predict correctness — self-consistency, grounding, input sufficiency — not the model grading itself.

• Advisory only — a Cortex flag never changes the finding or risk score
• Dismiss or re-review per requirement, with an audit trail
• Risk scoring per requirement rolls up to an assessment-level view

Know exactly how far from done you are.

Assessment readiness rolls all findings up to one number — compliant / pending / gap per control — with a per-requirement gap browser. Cortex can draft a closure plan from the open gaps, and the coverage check flags findings whose proof chain is uncited or dangling.

Scoping that knows why it’s asking.

62 scoping questions auto-populate the assessment sections. Every question carries contextual PCI DSS guidance in the Cortex rail — why it matters, the official references it maps to, and assessor tips. Cortex can propose answers; the assessor confirms.

• Answers auto-populate the ROC sections
• Per-question PCI DSS references and assessor tips
• “Answer with Cortex” proposes, the assessor confirms — answered-by-you vs answered-by-Cortex tracked separately

One ROC, start to signature.

Six steps, one workspace — from a DOCX import to a signed report and its AoC.

Where ROC software sits.

Compliance-automation and generalist audit tools solve adjacent problems — neither produces the assessor's report. Kliper is the only category built to write the ROC itself.

Asked before every ROC engagement.
