No. Only P2PE Assessors are qualified by the PCI Security Standards Council to evaluate P2PE Solutions, P2PE Components and P2PE Applications. Note that only a QSAP2PE (P2PE)Assessor is qualified to evaluate P2PE Solutions (including Merchant-Managed Solutions) and P2PE Components, while a PA-QSAP2PE (P2PE)Application Assessor is additionally qualified to evaluate P2PE Applications.
