Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ)

A Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) is a structured tool used by organizations to evaluate their compliance with security standards, especially related to protecting payment card information. It helps businesses identify areas where they meet security requirements and where improvements are needed. By completing the SAQ, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to safeguarding sensitive data, ensure they follow best practices, and maintain trust with customers and partners. It is a vital part of managing information security risks in a cost-effective way, especially for small to medium-sized merchants.
