Take card payments without the compliance headache. Folksoft scopes your cardholder data environment, picks the right SAQ, and keeps evidence audit-ready — so you stay PCI compliant while you build.
From the moment you connect your stack to the day you submit your SAQ, Folksoft runs the program for you.
Agents map your cardholder data environment (CDE) and minimise scope so you only tackle what actually applies.
We determine the correct Self-Assessment Questionnaire (A, A-EP, D, etc.) based on how you handle card data.
Required policies drafted and kept current; evidence collected continuously.
Folksoft watches your AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, GitLab, and Okta environments for drift against the 12 requirements.
We connect you with a Qualified Security Assessor or Approved Scanning Vendor where needed and guide you through validation.
Most startups validate with a Self-Assessment Questionnaire. A QSA-led Report on Compliance is reserved for Level 1 merchants.
For most startups and smaller merchants (Levels 2–4). A self-validated questionnaire; the fastest route to demonstrating PCI compliance.
Required for Level 1 merchants (or when acquirers demand it). A formal assessment performed by a Qualified Security Assessor.
In short: Most startups validate via an SAQ; you only need a QSA-led ROC at Level 1 or when your acquirer requires it. Folksoft determines which path applies and prepares you for it.
If any of these sound like you, PCI DSS is likely on your critical path.
Startups that store, process, or transmit cardholder data.
SaaS and fintech companies accepting card payments directly — not purely via a redirect to a compliant processor.
Companies whose acquirer or payment partner requires an SAQ or Attestation of Compliance.
Marketplaces and platforms touching card data on behalf of others.
Everything founders ask us before starting their PCI DSS journey.
Still have questions?Usually yes, but the scope is much smaller. Even with a compliant processor you typically must validate an SAQ (often SAQ A). Folksoft confirms your exact obligations.
Most startups are SAQ-ready in weeks; timing depends on how card data flows through your systems.
It depends on your merchant level, SAQ type, and environment scope. Contact us for a tailored quote.
