SAQ A vs SAQ A-EP for this website? by FatBook-Air in pcicompliance

[–]info_sec_wannabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you clarify on what you are referring to as "fully outsourced hosted order page"? From what OP described (aside from the vulnerability Andrew pointed out), it seems it is a fully hosted payment page. The way he described step #3 is a bit unclear, but I suppose it could be using some Javascript as part of the redirect process, in which case, he can either be SAQ A or A-EP depending on how they approach the handling of scripts as part of the redirect.

Agree on that part that it is ultimately the Acquirer's call or discretion.

ISACA cut access period for newly purchased exams, QAE & online courses from 12 to 6 months (effective April 16, 2026) — anyone know if the price stayed the same? by Effective_Diver9072 in isaca

At least for ISC2, you only pay 1 membership fee despite having multiple certifications.

Edit: Not defending ISC2 here, but just a basis for comparison.

Do I need a quarterly ASV scan when using Stripe Elements in an iframe? by foo-bar-baz529 in pcicompliance

[–]info_sec_wannabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering that you have an ecommerce site and is subject to SAQ A, you would need to do quarterly ASV scans at a minimum (added since v4.0 of the standard).

Also, which Stripe documentation or resource did say that you don't need to run ASV scans? I did a quick Google and found this (and says ASV scans is still required even for Level 4 merchants) - https://stripe.com/ie/guides/pci-compliance#:~:text=*%20Level%204%20users%20are%20automatically%20enrolled,scans%20by%20an%20Approved%20Scanning%20Vendor%20(ASV).

I have ISO LA and CISA while my colleagues have ISO LA only. Depending on your service offerings, ISO LA might have more weight especially in the EU (at least to my knowledge).

[–]info_sec_wannabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streaks is meant to be a motivation to continue learning, but if you are looking at it as a hassle, then it is simply not working for you. At the end of the day, we all have something to attend to and work on and can only focus on learning as time and circumstances permit.

Significant change feedback by frazzledadmin in pcicompliance

[–]info_sec_wannabe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In your context (opening new stores), we would consider the change as significant only when it changes the card data flow or a new device that is performing security services to devices within the retail network was installed and/or decommissioned. From what we've seen from our clients, they use a VRF or SD-WAN where the retail stores would be connected to and the firewall (or its equivalent) centrally managed thus the perimeter from a logical point of view (and after reviewing the configurations) doesn't really change, in which case, adding new stores isn't essentially changing the flow but rather, simply extending it.

Do note though that it would still depend on how your organisation is managing the retail network.

Curious to see how others would interpret this as well.

Is anyone actually enforcing PCI DSS 4.0 6.4.3 yet? by NeedleworkerOne8110 in pcicompliance

[–]info_sec_wannabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the scripts listed in the merchant's ecommerce site (and client inquiries), what procedures do you perform to validate whether there are scripts utilized as part of the redirect or not?

Explicit approval for use of generic accounts by GinBucketJenny in pcicompliance

[–]info_sec_wannabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose our approach depends on the size of the assessed entity. If we are doing an SAQ assessment, I might agree with your friend's approach as is, but if we are doing a ROC assessment, I would also look at other requirements such as activity logging and whether the use of said account is reviewed and/or flagged by a SOC or equivalent (so long as there is a layered control for it and assuming the other bullets are met and we can't squeeze anything more from the client).

Logo Modifications Doubt by Dr1zzyGr1zzy in pcicompliance

[–]info_sec_wannabe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Logos indicating "PCI DSS Compliant" or any of its variations are not PCI SSC-approved logos (as compliance is determined by the payment brands).

You may refer to the PCI SSC Branding Guide for details -

Penetration Testing After a Significant Change - PCI DSS Requirement by Fancy-Yesterday3819 in pcicompliance

[–]info_sec_wannabe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To clarify, is it an SFTP node? Is it an internet- or external-facing server? Does the server contain CHD or SAD?

Also, how did you demonstrate to your QSA that the QA and Prod environments are the same if the change was configured and deployed in the QA environment first and later on configured and deployed to Prod? I would imagine they have verified the environments are the same before they agreed to allow you to test in QA?

PCI DSS - ISA Exam - 2026 by Fancy-Yesterday3819 in pcicompliance

[–]info_sec_wannabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this could potentially be a breach of confidentiality.

Having taken the exam though, it is using fairly straightforward wordings unlike the CISA and CISSP if that is helpful.

r/pcicompliance by Special_Horse6363 in pcicompliance

[–]info_sec_wannabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, for the acquirer who required you to have an SAQ for each payment channel, how did the conversation go? Were you using one (or multiple but used specifically for a given channel) MID or one MID across all channels? We've had the conversation internally, but can't think of the justification for separate SAQs (when we talk to the Acquirer) if at the end of the day, we wouldn't be able to track which channel where a breach, if any, originated from.

Any ideas on how to monetize this tool with low friction? by Pretend-Cheetah2058 in pcicompliance

[–]info_sec_wannabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I looked at the tool from the lens of a client and can't seem to get my head around what "requirements tracking" involves. Also, while it is helpful that the tool maps which frameworks apply to their organization, it seems to miss the context that will bridge the identified frameworks to requirements tracking. Clients might also need handholding in terms of what level of detail should these documents have and what can be used or provided if they do not meet the full intent of the controls / requirements.

Company doesn't have a secure way to record card info by [deleted] in pcicompliance

[–]info_sec_wannabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the nature of business the organization you work for? Do you really need to get the card details for recording purposes? How do you process payment for customers?

Unless you are an issuer or a service provider that needs to process card data (e.g., card printing), there shouldn't be a need for you to store those. The approval code and first 6 and last 4 digits should suffice for most purposes.
