PCI Assessment & SAQ

Get familiar with the requirements for PCI compliance.


Topic overview

What is the PCI classification for?

In the PCI classification, we ask you questions about your individual handling of credit card data. The answers to these questions form the basis for determining the scope of your PCI DSS certification.

I need to renew my SAQ. Can I transfer the data from the previous year?

If you have completed an SAQ in PCI DSS v4.0 and the PCI version has not changed in the meantime, this is possible.

How can I view the data of my SAQ from the previous year?

To see what you have provided in the past for your Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), please navigate to the "PCI Documents" section.

Do all questions of the Self-Assessment-Questionnaire (SAQ) have to be answered?

Yes, all questions must be answered, otherwise the self-assessment cannot be completed.

Which topics does the Self-Assessment-Questionnaire (SAQ) cover?

The Questionnaire basically addresses the 12 main requirements of the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). There are different SAQ types, which vary considerably in scope. Which SAQ type is relevant to you depends on how you accept credit card payments and how you process the data. You indicate how you handle credit card payments in your PCI classification.

Where can I get help with completing the SAQ?

Our PCI DSS security experts are available to help you with specific PCI DSS questions through individually conducted consulting packages via telephone or web conference. Feel free to find out more about our consulting services.
