Compliance questions this page answers

Does this replace a QSA?

No. CompliClear provides SAQ assistance and CDE scope drafts. Complex PCI environments, formal validation, and acquirer acceptance may require QSA or payment processor review.

Can it help with SAQ A and SAQ A-EP?

Yes. The intake asks how payment pages, redirects, scripts, embedded fields, logs, and card data work so it can suggest the likely SAQ path and evidence gaps.
