Download Securisea's PCI Compliance Checklist

Most PCI DSS validation delays trace back to gaps in scope and evidence, not the twelve requirements themselves. This checklist organizes readiness into eight practical areas so you can score where you stand before a QSA engagement begins.

Use this checklist to:

Confirm your validation path through a decision tree covering SAQ eligibility or ROC requirements

Define and defend your cardholder data environment scope

Verify your asset inventory can be produced on demand and meets Requirement 12.5.1

Assess vulnerability remediation coverage

Check access control readiness

Evaluate whether your policies and evidence documentation would hold up without reconstruction during an assessment

Confirm segmentation controls have been tested, not just configured

Score your readiness across all nine sections as Ready, Partial, or Gap, so you know your highest-priority remediation areas before validation begins
