I have a question I hope someone can answer regarding PCI. We have a vender that we use that hosts an application. The vender says they are a Level 4 merchant and use a third party for all credit card transactions. So they would have to fill out a SAQ C and have an external scan by an approved vender.
Do they still have to abide by all PCI DSS requirements even if they are not spelled out in SAQ C, such as password length, reuse, and expiration? The vender has a document they describe their security controls and they do not even meet PCI DSS already lax standard of at least 7 character passwords. They claim that since they are level 4 they don't need to. My understanding was all requirements still apply even if it dosen't go through every single requirement in SAQ C they still have to check the box that says "I have read the PCI DSS and I recognize that I must maintain full PCI DSS compliance at all times" So who is correct? Thanks, Jeff
