"We failed to prove to our merchant bank that our e-commerce site is secure against script-based attacks. Now, they are telling us we no longer qualify for the simple 30-control SAQ A checklist, and are forcing us onto the massive 191-control SAQ A-EP. Our audit costs have skyrocketed by $80,000, and our developers are completely overwhelmed.".
If you cannot technically prove your website is secure, your bank will cancel your simple, short compliance checklist. They will force you onto a massive, complex audit form containing hundreds of strict rules, requiring expensive penetration testing and continuous vulnerability scans that will drain your cash reserves and stall your developers.
Disqualification from SAQ A due to a failure to prove host-site script protection shunts the merchant into SAQ A-EP. This transition forces the organization to comply with approximately 191 extensive requirements, making annual penetration testing, continuous file-integrity monitoring, and quarterly external vulnerability scans fully mandatory, radically inflating compliance costs.
