Can I do my own PCI compliance?

Did you know that you dont necessarily need to have a third-party assessment to be compliant with PCI DSS? Many organizations choose to self assess instead. Not every company can do this, and it isnt always the best choice but for some organizations, its an attractive option.

If youre a merchant and process under 6 million annual card transactions, youre eligible for PCI DSS SAQ. For service providers, that threshold is much lower. Any business under 300,000 yearly card transactions is eligible. If your business surpasses either of these numbers, you arent eligible to complete the SAQ.
