PCI SSC v4.0.1 r1 (rev 2) decision flow — fail-closed

Assessments — find your correct PCI validation path

QSA-vs-SAQ triage first, then official PCI SSC eligibility checks. A short-form SAQ is only recommended when every clause is confirmed — otherwise you are routed to SAQ D or a QSA engagement.

Question 1
Step 1

First — which best describes your organisation?

We start with a QSA-vs-SAQ triage so you don't spend time on an SAQ path when a Report on Compliance (ROC) is actually required.
