Common signs: a partner asks about PCI, card numbers touch your servers or you don't know your SAQ type. Usual causes: payment flows never reviewed. What we do: map card data, find your scope and list gaps. What you get: a clear PCI scope and fix list.
Our PCI DSS check shows where card data flows through your app, which PCI DSS requirements apply, your likely Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) type and the gaps to close. A Codersarts engineer reviews your checkout, code and hosting and sends a ranked fix list. Fixed price from $199 with 1-day delivery.

What Is a PCI DSS Check?
A PCI DSS check is a technical review of how an application handles payment card data. It maps where card numbers enter, travel and could be stored or logged, determines how much of your system is in PCI scope, suggests the likely SAQ type, and lists gaps against PCI DSS v4.0 requirements such as access control, logging and payment page script management.
This is a technical review, not a formal assessment. Validation is done through your SAQ or a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA).
Signs You Need This
A payment partner or bank asked about PCI compliance
Your forms send card numbers to your servers
You're not sure which SAQ applies
Card data might appear in logs
You're moving to a new payment provider
Common Gaps We Find
Card data in logs
Full requests logged on payment endpoints.
Self-hosted card forms
Card numbers posting to your own servers.
Uncontrolled scripts
Third-party scripts on payment pages.
Weak access
Shared admin accounts and no MFA.
Quick Checks You Can Try First
Check whether card numbers ever reach your server.
Search logs for card-like numbers.
List scripts loaded on your payment page.
Confirm which payment fields your provider hosts.
If the problem remains, our engineers take it from there.
How We Check
Map. Card data flows from checkout to provider.
Scope. Which systems are in PCI scope.
SAQ. Your likely SAQ type.
Gaps. Requirements not yet met.
Scope reduction. Ways to shrink scope with tokenization.
Report. Ranked fix list.

Example result (illustrative)
A subscription business thought it was SAQ A, but its custom checkout posted card numbers to its own API before sending them to the provider. The check showed it was in full SAQ D scope and recommended hosted fields, which moved it back to a much smaller scope.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a PCI certification?
No. Validation is through your SAQ or a QSA. This check tells you where you stand.
Which SAQ applies to us?
It depends on how card data flows; the check identifies the likely type.
Do you need to see card data?
No. We review code, configuration and flows, not card numbers.
Can you fix the gaps?
Yes, through the check and scope reduction option or separate tasks.
