Your SAQ type is determined by how your business handles cardholder data, not by company size or transaction volume. Getting this right from the start is what Crossbow does.
Every response must be backed by documented, evidenced security controls. Organizations must align their payment architecture, access controls, network security, and operational processes with PCI DSS requirements before a single answer is submitted. Gaps in documentation are the most common cause of re-submission requests from acquiring banks.
Crossbow's methodology: Our testers follow OWASP, CREST, MITRE ATT&CK, and PCI DSS penetration testing guidance. Findings are prioritized by actual exploitability and business impact, not theoretical severity scores.
The current standard introduces 64 additional controls spanning payment page security, access management, and vulnerability monitoring. Many organizations are completing their SAQ against requirements that no longer reflect what their acquiring bank expects. Crossbow aligns every engagement with the current standard so your submission holds up on review.
Crossbow manages the full SAQ process: type determination, gap analysis, evidence preparation, SAQ completion, and Attestation of Compliance documentation. Most engagements complete in 2 to 6 weeks. You get a submission that is accepted on first review.
Six types, each designed for a specific setup. Scope determines which one applies to you.
Not sure which applies? Book a free 30-minutes scoping call. We confirm your SAQ type before you spend time on the wrong questionnaire.
We review your payment architecture, transaction flows, and third-party integrations to confirm the correct SAQ type in writing before you answer a single question. This eliminates the most common cause of failed compliance validation and removes ambiguity that delays your submission.
We assess your current controls against every PCI DSS v4.0.1 requirement and identify each gap. You receive a clear, prioritized remediation plan rather than a generic checklist. Organizations are often surprised by how many controls they assumed were covered but lack documented evidence to support them.
Every SAQ response is aligned with your actual, evidenced controls. We cross-reference each answer with supporting documentation including policies, network diagrams, scan reports, and access records before submission. Inaccurate responses are the second most common reason for failed validation.
The AoC must be consistent with every statement in your SAQ. Crossbow prepares and reviews both documents together, ensuring they align and are accepted on first submission. Inconsistencies between the SAQ and AoC are a leading cause of re-submission requests from acquiring banks.
PCI SAQ compliance is annual. Crossbow tracks control changes across your environment, updates evidence for each cycle, and ensures you remain aligned with any PCI DSS standard updates so your next submission is faster, not harder.

It depends on how your business handles cardholder data. SAQ A applies if all payment processing is fully outsourced to a PCI compliant third party. SAQ A-EP applies to e-commerce merchants whose web server touches the payment page. SAQ B covers standalone dial-out terminals. SAQ D applies if you store, process, or transmit cardholder data directly. Selecting the wrong type invalidates your compliance submission.
It depends on your SAQ type. SAQ A-EP, B-IP, C, and D all require quarterly external vulnerability scans from an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). SAQ A and SAQ B for POTS terminals do not. Crossbow is both a certified QSA and an ASV, meaning both obligations can be handled in a single engagement.
Cost depends on your SAQ type and the complexity of your environment. SAQ A covers a limited requirement set and is scoped accordingly. SAQ D spans the full PCI DSS requirement set and involves a more comprehensive engagement. Crossbow offers transparent, fixed pricing across all SAQ types with no hidden fees, so you know the full cost of becoming compliant before you begin.
