The PCI Self Assessment Questionnaire (PCI SAQ) was created to be a validation tool for merchants and service providers to easily demonstrate their compliance with the PCI DSS. Some larger companies require an on-site data security assessment, but for other merchants, the SAQ is sufficient.
For many years the Payment Card Industry had employed a one-size-fits-all approach to the PCI Self Assessment Questionnaire. Recently, though, they released a more individualized approach. There are now multiple versions of the PCI DSS Self Assessment Questionnaire, each one designed to meet the various possible business scenarios.
There are a number of requirements to the PCI DSS and you may need some assistance in reaching compliance and in completing the PCI SAQ. At Braintree Payment Solutions we have the technology and experience to help you reach compliance quickly and complete the annual PCI Self Assessment Questionnaire.
