What is a PCI DSS payment environment assessment?
A PCI DSS payment environment assessment reviews the cardholder data environment (CDE), where card data is stored, processed or sent. It checks scope and segmentation, tests systems such as POS, payment pages and tokenization, and runs the penetration tests PCI DSS requires, producing evidence for your QSA or SAQ.
