The PCI SSC has developed the PCI DSS rules and documents to regulate and lay down the card security principles and policies. Payment security guidance must be followed by all entities (including banks, merchants, payment processors) which store, process or transmit cardholder data. These rules set the technical and operational requirements for organizations accepting or processing payment transactions.

How to be sure that you are compliant with PCI DSS requirements?

We inform merchants once per year via e-mail what kind of action must be taken to comply with the PCI DSS. The requirements are presented in the table below.

Merchants are categorized into 4 levels based on the annual number of card payment transactions by one card brand (i.e. Mastercard, VISA, Amex etc.). We require Level 1 - Level 3 merchants to notify us of their compliance status after the required action has been taken. Level 4 merchants must notify us of their compliance status by sending a completed Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ).

Merchant level Merchants transaction criteria Required actions from merchants Frequency
Level 1 Merchants with 6 million and more annual transactions in total for Mastercard or VISA External security audit made by Qualified Security Assessor(QSA) once per year
Network Scan conducted by an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) or Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) once per quarter
Level 2 Merchants with 1 to 6 million annual transactions in total for Mastercard or VISA Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) or Internal Security Assessor (ISA) Level 2 merchants who choose to complete an annual self-assessment questionnaire must ensure that staff engaged in the self-assessment attend PCI SSC ISA training and pass the associated accreditation program annually in order to continue the option of self-assessment for compliance validation. Alternatively, Level 2 merchants, at their own discretion, must complete an annual onsite assessment conducted by a PCI SSC approved Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) rather than complete an annual self-assessment questionnaire. once per year

1. Merchants completing the SAQ A, A-EP or D are required to engage a QSA or ISA for annual compliance validation.

2. Merchants completing the SAQ B, B-IP, C-VT, C or P2PE may now self-assess without the use of a QSA or ISA for compliance validation

Level 4 All other merchants Annual Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) at merchant’s discretion Recommended once per quarter

Keep in mind, that you’ll need to perform:

  • Security audit by a certified auditor acting as Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) at the legal entities that are presented on the official PCI DSS website.
  • Scanning of the network by a qualified net scanning vendor acting as Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) or Qualified Security Assessor (QSA). ASV can conduct a scanning procedure for in-store and online merchants but have no rights to perform annual audits.
  • Internal audit, during which questions in SAQ (Self Assessment Questionnaire) have to be answered. The questionnaire content depends on technical solution.
