PCI Certification - TrustKeeper - SAQ-D Compliance Questionaire SMS 8.9

Disclaimer: All information provided in these pages is meant to be helpful for a typical Sign, Print, or Graphics company. If your business model differs significantly from these typical establishments, these recommendations may not apply. In all cases, you are responsible for providing the correct answer and Cyrious assumes no direct or indirect liability with the guidance below.

tocOnce you are logged into TrustKeeper at https://elavonpci.trustkeeper.net/, one of the steps is to set up your Compliance Questionaire. The information below is meant to help you answer those questions. Please note that the answers provided only concern Cyrious' applications. Many of the questions concern Cyrious and other applications you have and must be answered in this context.

The SAQ Questionaire is the document where you must attest that you are following all of the best practices necessary to secure the card holder information you come into contact with.

For users of Cyrious SMS or Control, Cyrious recommends you complete SAQ-D. If you never place a single credit card number into Control or SMS, and no employe ever has, ever does, or ever will then you probably qualify to use SAQ-C. This does not just apply to processing credit card information, but storing any credit card number in the system also. SAQ-C is easier to complete, but if you find that your or an employee has, does, or will put credit card information into SMS or Control you will end up not being in compliance.

The information below assumes you are using Questionaire D. If you are using another form, then this information does not apply to you.

Unfortunately, Cyrious does not know the status of your network. Our support technicians are not authorized to answer any questions on your network security. You will need to have these questions verified by someone knowledgeable about your specific network configuration. In some cases, you may need to make changes or implement additional security measures.

Note: This information only applies to SMS 8.6, it does not apply to any other version of Cyrious SMS and should not be utilized in the assistance of completing the questionnaire if you have any other version.
