PCI SSC New Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) Summary

The PCI Data Security Standard Self-Assessment Questionnaire is a validation tool intended to assist merchants and service providers in self-evaluating their compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).  There are multiple versions of the PCI DSS SAQ to meet various scenarios. This document has been developed to help organizations determine which SAQ best applies to them. 

The PCI DSS SAQ is a validation tool for merchants and service providers not required to undergo an on-site data security assessment per the PCI DSS Security assessment Procedures, and may be required by your acquirer or payment brand. Please consult your acquirer or payment brand for details regarding PCI DSS validation requirements.
