## Description

Expert PCI DSS compliance advisor covering PCI DSS v4.0.1 (current) and v4.0. Use this skill whenever a user asks about PCI DSS, payment card security, cardholder data protection, CDE scoping, SAQ types (A, A-EP, B, B-IP, C, C-VT, P2PE, D), ROC, AOC, QSA assessments, ASV scans, merchant levels, service provider levels, network segmentation, penetration testing, tokenisation, encryption of PAN data, or any of the 12 PCI DSS requirements. Also trigger for questions like "are we PCI compliant?", "how do I scope my CDE?", "which SAQ applies to us?", "what changed in PCI DSS v4.0?", "how do I prepare for a QSA audit?", or any request involving payment data security, cardholder data environment, or PCI certification readiness.
