Learn about changes to our customer PCI validation portal to accommodate for PCI version 3.0
UPDATE: Here’s the latest about PCI compliance.
We made a bunch of great changes to our customer PCI validation portal to accommodate for PCI version 3.0.
Even though PCI 3.0 brings about new standards, longer SAQs, additional scanning requirements, and complex answering options, we kept it simple with our new portal.

Even though PCI DSS 3.0 requires all merchants to re-scope, SecurityMetrics will save and populate existing customers' applicable PCI DSS 2.0 Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) answers to their PCI DSS 3.0 SAQ to ensure a smooth transition.
In PCI DSS 3.0 SAQs are applied per processing environment, which could mean many merchants' validation types will change, even if their processing method hasn't. It also means merchants may be required to fill out multiple SAQs. SecurityMetrics' PCI DSS 3.0 validation portal intelligently combines multiple SAQs, deletes duplicate questions, and syndicates questions to avoid confusion.
Oftentimes, merchants are left not knowing the next step to finish compliance validation. The actionable to-do list keeps them on track to ensure a straightforward PCI DSS experience.
The PCI DSS is written in a very technical manner that some merchants may not fully understand. To ensure merchants have the ability to accurately and honestly answer their self-assessment questions, SecurityMetrics offers both simplified and original SAQ questions for select standards.
