Payment Application Qualified Security Assessor (PA-QSA) Companies are organizations that have been qualified by the PCI Security Standards Council to perform PA-DSS Assessments for PA-DSS Program purposes. PA-QSA Employees are individuals who are employed by a PA-QSA Company and have satisfied all PA-QSA Qualification Requirements applicable to employees of PA-QSA Companies who will conduct PA-DSS Assessments, as described in further detail in the PA-QSA Qualification Requirements.
Please note, the PCI Security Standards Council maintains an in-depth program for security companies seeking to be certified as Payment Application Qualified Security Assessors (PA-QSAs), as well as to be re-certified as PA-QSAs each year.
Certification and re-certification indicate only that the applicable PA-QSA has successfully met all PCI Security Standards Council requirements to perform PA-DSS assessments, and the PCI Security Standards Council does not endorse these security solution providers or their business processes or practices.
Although the PCI Security Standards Council strives to ensure that the list of Payment Application Qualified Security Assessors linked to this page is current, the list is updated frequently and the PCI Security Standards Council cannot guarantee that the list is current at all times. Accordingly, each time a client engages a PA-QSA, the client is advised to check this list on a regular basis to ensure that its PA-QSA has successfully maintained its status as a Payment Application Qualified Security Assessor.
