Founding cohort

Join the founding cohort

We are taking a small founding cohort of merchants through their PCI DSS self-assessment — done with you, hands-on, at no cost — in exchange for honest feedback and, if we earn it, a named testimonial and a short case study.

The offer

A handful of founding-cohort seats, free, this quarter. You get a finished, submittable SAQ and the attestation that goes with it — built alongside someone who has done this before, not handed a login and a help centre. In return, we ask for your honest feedback and, only if the experience earns it, a named testimonial and a short case study.

Who it is for

  • Card-touching small and mid-sized businesses and fintechs that just received a SAQ demand from an acquirer, processor, or partner.
  • Teams without a dedicated compliance hire, doing this for the first time.
  • Anyone who has opened a SAQ workbook, felt the weeks of work it implies, and wants a faster, more certain path.

What you get (done-with-you)

  • A working session to confirm your SAQ type and scope — so you answer the right questionnaire, not the longest one.
  • Your SAQ set up and run inside SentinelPanda, with the free policy templates filled in with you.
  • Direct access to the founder across the assessment — questions answered by the person who built the product, not a ticket queue.
  • A finished SAQ and Attestation of Compliance you can submit, plus the evidence trail behind it.

What we ask in return

  • A few short feedback calls — what worked, what was confusing, what was missing.
  • Permission to use a named testimonial and your logo, only if you are genuinely happy.
  • A short case study we can publish, written with your review and sign-off.

The fine print

Founding-cohort seats are limited and first-come. This is a genuine done-with-you engagement, not a sales call in disguise — if SentinelPanda is the wrong fit for your situation, we will tell you and point you somewhere better. We are not a QSA; for SAQ types or merchant levels that require one, we set up the workflow and work alongside your assessor. See how we secure the platform and why founder-led is the safer bet.
