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.
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 at once.
Choose from all nine SAQ types — A, A-EP, B, B-IP, C, C-VT, D (merchant), D (service provider), and P2PE. If you're unsure which one applies, the built-in SAQ Finder asks 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.
Attach a photo to each requirement — server cabinet, point-of-interaction device, signed policy, whatever the requirement calls for. The evidence stays with the requirement, so your documentation is organized as you go.
When you've worked through the SAQ, export a PDF that captures your answers and evidence. Share it with your acquirer, your QSA, or anyone else who needs to see your working. Your account stays synced so you can switch devices any time.
Paytia has held PCI DSS Level 1 certification since 2016. We built Comply because we know what the SAQ actually asks for — and how few businesses have a clear path through it.
Most businesses only 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 elsewhere to find a different tool.
The questions aren't paraphrased guesses — they're the actual requirements from the PCI Security Standards Council, 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 — server cabinet, terminal, 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 organization 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 decode the official documents first.
Contact centers 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 keeps each assessment separate so you can 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.
