Free PCI DSS Tools for Small Merchants
11 tools in 3 topics
Each tool asks about the way your shop works, not about card data: the terminal on the counter, the checkout on your website, who answers the phone. It then prints the one thing you came for, with the rule it rests on and the date that rule was read.
Start with the SAQ Type Finder if you do not yet know which questionnaire you file; most of the others assume you do. None of them asks for a card number, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
