    Many PA-DSS requirements are derived from PCI DSS Requirements and Security Assessment (PCI DSS). 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because PA-DSS requirements are indeed derived from PCI DSS requirements and security assessments. PA-DSS stands for Payment Application Data Security Standard, which is a set of requirements designed to ensure that payment applications are secure and do not store sensitive cardholder data. Since PCI DSS is a comprehensive standard for securing cardholder data, it makes sense that PA-DSS requirements would be derived from it to ensure consistency and alignment in security measures.

    Who is responsible for a Merchant's PCI Compliance?

    • QIR

    • QSA

    • Firewall Provider

    • Merchant

    Correct Answer
    A. Merchant
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Merchant. The responsibility for a Merchant's PCI Compliance lies with the Merchant themselves.

This includes implementing and maintaining secure systems and processes, conducting regular security assessments, and adhering to the guidelines set forth by the PCI Security Standards Council. The other options listed, QIR, QSA, and Firewall Provider, may play a role in assisting the Merchant with their PCI Compliance efforts, but ultimately the responsibility lies with the Merchant.

    PAN should be rendered unreadable anywhere it's stored.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is suggesting that PAN (Primary Account Number) should be made unreadable in any location where it is stored. This is true because PAN is a sensitive piece of information that is used to identify and authenticate credit card transactions. Storing it in a readable format increases the risk of unauthorized access and potential misuse. By rendering PAN unreadable, it adds an extra layer of security to protect the cardholder's information.

    Which of the following is not true of acquirers? 

    • Also called Visa and/or Mastercard

    • Provide authorization, clearing and settlement services to merchants

    • Also called Merchant Bank

    Correct Answer
    A. Also called Visa and/or Mastercard
    Explanation
    Acquirers are not called Visa and/or Mastercard. Acquirers are the banks or entities that provide authorization, clearing, and settlement services to merchants. They are also known as the merchant bank, as they are the bank or entity that the merchant uses to process their payment card transactions. However, Visa and Mastercard are payment networks that facilitate the transfer of funds between the acquirer and the issuer (the cardholder's bank).
