PCI SAQ (IATA)

PCI SAQ stands for Payment Card Industry Self-Assessment Questionnaire. It's a security standard designed to ensure the security of cardholder data. Businesses that process, store, or transmit cardholder data must comply with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and complete an appropriate SAQ annually.

Why is PCI SAQ Important ?

  • Reduce Data Breaches: By following PCI DSS guidelines, businesses can minimize the risk of data breaches.
  • Protects Cardholder Data: PCI SAQ helps safeguard sensitive cardholder information, such as credit card numbers and expiration dates.
  • Maintains Compliance: Adhering to PCI DSS requirements ensures compliance with industry regulations and avoids potential penalties.

Types of PCI SAQs

There are several types of SAQs, each tailored to different levels of cardholder data exposure:

  • SAQ A:For merchants who outsource all cardholder data functions to a PCI DSS-validated third-party service provider.
  • SAQ A-EP:For e-commerce merchants who outsource transaction processing to a PCI DSS-validated third-party service provider.
  • SAQ B:For merchants who store cardholder data but do not transmit it electronically.
  • SAQ C:For merchants who transmit cardholder data through public networks but do not store it.
  • SAQ D:For merchants who store, process, and transmit cardholder data.
