- ## What is a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ)?
9
-
10
- An SAQ is a validation tool intended to assist merchants and service providers in self-evaluating their compliance with PCI DSS. There are multiple SAQ types — each designed for a specific payment channel and cardholder data environment profile. The correct SAQ type depends on **how** your organisation accepts payments and **who** handles cardholder data.
11
-
12
- Level 1 merchants and Level 1 service providers are **not eligible** for SAQs — they require an on-site Report on Compliance (ROC) completed by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA).

16
- ## SAQ Selection Decision Tree
17
-
18
- **Step 1: Are you a Level 1 Merchant or Level 1 Service Provider?**
19
- - Yes → ROC required (not an SAQ). Stop here.
20
- - No → Continue to Step 2.
21
-
22
- **Step 2: Are you a Service Provider (not a merchant)?**
23
- - Yes → **SAQ D for Service Providers** (unless Level 1)
24
- - No (Merchant) → Continue to Step 3.
25
-
26
- **Step 3: Do you accept card-present (face-to-face) transactions?**
27
- - Yes, using ONLY imprint machines (no electronic transactions) → **SAQ B**
28
- - Yes, using ONLY standalone dial-out terminals (no IP connectivity) → **SAQ B**
29
- - Yes, using standalone IP-connected PTS POI devices only → **SAQ B-IP**
30
- - Yes, using a validated P2PE solution only (PCI-listed) → **SAQ P2PE**
31

+ ## What is a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ)?
9
+
10
+ An SAQ is a validation tool intended to assist merchants and service providers in self-evaluating their compliance with PCI DSS. There are multiple SAQ types — each designed for a specific payment channel and cardholder data environment profile. The correct SAQ type depends on **how** your organisation accepts payments and **who** handles cardholder data.
11
+
12
+ Level 1 merchants and Level 1 service providers are **not eligible** for SAQs — they require an on-site Report on Compliance (ROC) completed by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA).
13
+
14
+ ---
15
+
16
+ ## SAQ Selection Decision Tree
17
+
18
+ **Step 1: Are you a Level 1 Merchant or Level 1 Service Provider?**
19
+ - Yes → ROC required (not an SAQ). Stop here.
20
+ - No → Continue to Step 2.
21
+
22
+ **Step 2: Are you a Service Provider (not a merchant)?**
23
+ - Yes → **SAQ D for Service Providers** (unless Level 1)
24
+ - No (Merchant) → Continue to Step 3.
25
+
26
+ **Step 3: Do you accept card-present (face-to-face) transactions?**
27
+ - Yes, using ONLY imprint machines (no electronic transactions) → **SAQ B**
28
+ - Yes, using ONLY standalone dial-out terminals (no IP connectivity) → **SAQ B**
29
+ - Yes, using standalone IP-connected PTS POI devices only → **SAQ B-IP**
30
+ - Yes, using a validated P2PE solution only (PCI-listed) → **SAQ P2PE**
31
+ - Yes, using virtual payment terminals (isolated device, web-based) → **SAQ C-VT**
32
+ - Yes, using payment application systems connected to internet → **SAQ C**
33
+ - Yes, with any other scenario → **SAQ D for Merchants**
34
+
35
+ **Step 4: Do you accept card-not-present (CNP) — e-commerce or MOTO — only?**
36
+ - Yes, and ALL cardholder data functions fully outsourced, no redirect control → **SAQ A**
37
+ - Yes, e-commerce only, but you control the customer redirect to the payment page → **SAQ A-EP**
38
+ - Yes, MOTO only with virtual payment terminals (web-based, isolated device) → **SAQ C-VT**
39
+ - Any other CNP scenario → **SAQ D for Merchants**
