If your organization accepts, stores or transmits cardholder data (CHD), it must comply with the PCI DSS standard. This requires annual validation/proof by most merchant processors and is a way of demonstrating that your environment is secure. Based on the number of card transactions you complete annually, you’ll need a self-assessment questionnaire OR an independent onsite audit. As standards and requirements evolve, maintaining compliance and performing assessments can become a yearly struggle. PCI DSS Level 1 Merchant Requires a Report on Compliance (ROC), completed by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) after a PCI DSS audit PCI DSS Level 2 Merchant Requires a Report on Compliance (ROC) OR appropriate Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) – there are nine different versions; the way your business handles payment card data determines the one you need PCI DSS Level 3 Merchant Requires appropriate Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) Image What Does PCI DSS Certification Require?
