    Default Does altering the source code nullify the PCI pa-dss compliance?

    If you alter the source code, does it nullify the pci pa-dss compliance and then require a re-assessment?

    Technically, yes.

    Realistically - unless you touch any security or gateway related code, you're probably not messing with anything that'll affect PA-DSS compliance. While technically you're required to have the customizations reviewed by a QSA, it won't be an issue until/unless your site is audited.

    If you decide not to have the review done, and you have some kind of a breach and get audited....ouch. That's not a cheap settlement.
