Seattle, WA
Contracted
Mid Level
PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) is a person or organization that has been certified by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to help businesses comply with the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
Here’s what that means in practice:
  • PCI DSS is a global security standard that applies to any company handling credit card data. It sets requirements for securely processing, storing, and transmitting cardholder information.
  • QSA is an independent security professional trained and approved by the PCI Council to assess whether an organization is following those requirements.
  • QSAs usually work for firms called QSA Companies, which provide auditing and advisory services.
  • They perform PCI DSS assessments, validate compliance, and often issue a Report on Compliance (ROC) that businesses must submit to banks or card brands
In short: A PCI QSA is a trusted, certified security expert who audits and guides businesses on meeting PCI DSS compliance so they can safely handle payment card data.
