PCI DSS Self-Assessment Questionnaire

Self-Assessing Your Payment Card Data Security

The PCI DSS v4.0 Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) is designed as a compliance vehicle for organizations with low transaction volumes. It is one of the simplest types of PCI DSS v4.0 validation, but unless you are a PCI DSS expert,  the SAQ can be a challenge to complete.  Naturally you want to get it right the first time, because no one really wants to do it twice.

Whether you need assistance completing the entire process or just have questions, Truvantis can help you understand your SAQ requirements in plain business language. Our team of certified Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs) has decades of experience helping clients get through process smoothly and efficiently.

Contact us today to discuss your business and the PCI DSS compliance process that fits your organization.

Strategies for a Successful SAQ

Regardless of which SAQ you’re using, the same strategies for PCI DSS compliance success can help you to prepare, while securing your cardholder data environment.

  1. Don’t Store Sensitive Authentication Data

    Never store this data after authorization. This includes PIN numbers, PIN blocks, magnetic stripe or chip contents, and codes and values used for card verification.

  2. Review Point of Sale Technology

    Speak to your POS service provider about the security of your hardware and software and whether it is PCI compliant.

  3. Delete Cardholder Data

    If you don't need it, delete it.

  4. Implement PCI DSS Controls

    Start following all controls recommended by PCI DSS.

  5. Get Professional Assistance

    Enlist the help of a certified QSA to prepare or perform your assessment for the first time.
