PCI DSS Self-assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) Version 1.1

The SAQ is a validation tool used primarily by Level 2, 3 and 4merchants (and some smaller service providers), as defined by the majorcard brands -- Visa Inc., MasterCard Worldwide, Discover Network, AmericanExpress and JCB -- to validate compliance with the PCI DSS. The PCI Council updated SAQ version 1.0 to better align with PCI DSS version 1.1 and created four variants to ensure merchants only answer questions relevant totheir environment. Each of the four variants, labeled A, B, C and D have qualifying questions used to determine which of the four questionnaires amerchant is required to complete. Each merchant completing the SAQ version1.1 selects the questionnaire that best represents their environment.
