Validate PCI compliance status

Confirm our PCI compliance status before the enterprise onboarding next Tuesday. Pull the current attestation, list the SAQ type we claim, verify the last scan dates and which encrypted card data the backend touches. Share the document with Priya in security and copy CFO Aaron, and note any immediate gaps that would block the enterprise deal.

Before I send the PCI summary to security and the deal team, make it readable for non-technical reviewers: put the high‑risk items first, show the last external scan date and its critical findings, and explain in one sentence what scope of card data we handle and why that dictates our SAQ type. Flag anything that would delay the procurement review.

Security noticed our SAQ classification moved from SAQ A to SAQ A-EP after the latest launch. I told them we didn’t store PANs, but I’m not sure which frontend change caused it. The security lead, Priya, is escalating with procurement and the customer. What likely frontend behavior triggered the scope change, and what is the fastest remedial step I can take that won’t break the checkout tomorrow?

Every enterprise sale turns into a scramble to prove PCI scope: inconsistent documentation, last-minute scans, and unclear responsibilities between product, engineering, and finance. What recurring changes should we make — roles, a checklist, and an automated evidence pipeline — so PCI readiness is routine rather than crisis-driven?
