Every business that takes card payments has to complete a PCI DSS Self-Assessment Questionnaire every year. The official SAQ documents are dense and written for auditors. Paytia Comply turns them into something you can actually work through on your phone — one requirement at a time, in plain English, with evidence capture and PDF export built in. Prefer a checklist to read first?
Paytia Comply· FreeComply breaks the SAQ down into the smallest useful unit — one requirement at a time — so you can work through it in real sessions rather than trying to tackle the whole thing in one sitting.
Choose from all nine SAQ types — A, A-EP, B, B-IP, C, C-VT, D (merchant), D (service provider), and P2PE. Not sure which one fits? The built-in SAQ Finder asks a few questions about how you take payments and points you to the right one.
Every one of the 900+ real PCI DSS v4.0.1 requirements is presented one at a time, rewritten in plain English with a short note on what it means and what evidence you'll need. Mark each as Yes, No, or Not Applicable. Your progress saves automatically.
For each requirement, you can attach a photo directly — server cabinet, point-of-interaction device, policy document, whatever the requirement calls for. The evidence lives with the requirement, so your working is always in the right place.
When you've worked through the SAQ, export a PDF that captures your answers and evidence. You can share it with your acquirer, your QSA, or anyone else who needs to see your working. Your account stays synced, so you can pick up on a different device if needed.
Paytia has held PCI DSS Level 1 certification since 2016. We built Comply because we know what the SAQ actually asks for — and we know how few businesses have a smooth way to answer it.
Most businesses only ever complete one SAQ type, but the way you take payments might span more than one. Comply covers the full set so you're never sent back to Google to find a different tool.
The questions aren't paraphrased guesses — they're the actual requirements from the PCI Security Standards Council, presented in the order they appear in the official documentation.
Every requirement comes with a short note on what it means in practice and the kind of evidence that satisfies it. You don't need a QSA on retainer to understand what you're being asked.
Photograph the evidence in context — the server cabinet, the terminal, the signed policy — and it stays attached to the requirement it belongs to. No spreadsheet gymnastics to map evidence to questions later.
Start on your phone, finish on your tablet. Your assessment is saved to your account and synced in real time, so you can switch devices mid-SAQ without losing anything.
Paytia has kept businesses PCI compliant since 2016 and holds PCI DSS Level 1 certification ourselves — the highest tier. The requirements in Comply are the ones we work with every day.
You don't need to be a large organisation or a compliance professional to use Comply. It's built for anyone who has to sign off on a SAQ and wants a clear path through it.
If you take card payments and don't have a compliance team, Comply gives you a structured path through your SAQ without needing to decipher the official documents first.
Contact centres handling card data over the phone often sit in SAQ D scope — the most detailed questionnaire. Comply makes it manageable by breaking it into individual requirements you can tackle one at a time.
If you're guiding more than one client through their annual SAQ, Comply's account system means you can keep each assessment separate and export a PDF for each client when they're ready.
When Comply flags a gap in how you take phone payments — card data reaching your agents, call recordings capturing digits — Paytia's telephone payment tools close those gaps. DTMF masking, channel separation, agent-assisted payments: they're built to the same PCI DSS Level 1 standard the SAQ is measuring you against.
What people ask before they download Comply
Yes, completely free. There's no subscription, no in-app purchase, no hidden tier. You create an account, pick your SAQ, and work through it — all at no cost.
All nine: SAQ A, SAQ A-EP, SAQ B, SAQ B-IP, SAQ C, SAQ C-VT, SAQ D for merchants, SAQ D for service providers, and SAQ P2PE. If you're not sure which one applies to your business, there's a built-in SAQ Finder that points you in the right direction based on how you take card payments.
No. Comply is a standalone tool for completing your PCI DSS SAQ. You don't need to be a Paytia customer, and nothing inside the app pushes you to upgrade or buy anything. It's genuinely useful on its own.
Yes. The app is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Google Play for Android devices. You can start your assessment on one device and continue on another — your progress syncs to your account.
Your assessment answers, evidence notes, and any photos you attach are saved to your Paytia account and synced securely. Paytia is a PCI DSS Level 1 provider — the same compliance standard your SAQ is measuring you against — so your data is held to that standard. For UK users, data is processed in accordance with UK GDPR.
