+
+## SAQ-A Overview
+
+### What is SAQ-A?
+
+**SAQ-A** (Self-Assessment Questionnaire A) is the simplest PCI-DSS compliance path for merchants who:
+- Outsource ALL cardholder data processing to PCI-DSS validated third parties (Stripe)
+- DO NOT electronically store, process, or transmit cardholder data on their systems
+- Rely on validated payment service providers for all payment processing
+
+**Requirements:** 22 (vs 300+ for full PCI-DSS compliance)
+
+### Why SAQ-A?
+
+Trading Platform qualifies for SAQ-A because:
+
+✅ **Stripe handles ALL card data processing**
+- Card numbers, CVV, expiry dates never touch our servers
+- Tokenization happens client-side via Stripe.js
+- Payment processing happens on Stripe's servers
+
+✅ **Our system only stores Stripe tokens/IDs**
+- payment_intent_id (safe identifier)
+- customer_id (Stripe customer reference)
+- payment_method_id (tokenized payment method)
+- Card metadata (last4, brand) - NOT full PAN
+
+✅ **Payment confirmation happens via Stripe**
+- Frontend: `stripe.confirmCardPayment()` (Stripe.js)
+- Backend: Webhook notifications (verified signatures)
+- NO direct card processing on our infrastructure
+
+---
+

+-- Transactions table
+CREATE TABLE payments.transactions (
+  id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
+  user_id UUID NOT NULL,
+  amount DECIMAL(10,2),
+  currency VARCHAR(3),
+  status VARCHAR(50),
+  payment_intent_id VARCHAR(255), -- ✅ Stripe token (safe)
+  stripe_customer_id VARCHAR(255), -- ✅ Stripe ID (safe)
+  -- ❌ NO: card_number, cvv, expiry_date columns
+  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
+);

+  created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW()
+);
+```
+
+**Validation:** ✅ PASS (Database audit complete)
+
+### 2. API Request Validation (Block Sensitive Data)
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ COMPLIANT: Backend rejects any card data
+
+export async function createDeposit(req, res) {
+  const sensitiveFields = [
+    'cardNumber', 'card_number', 'cvv', 'cvc',
+    'expiryDate', 'expiry_date', 'pan',
+  ];
+
+  // Check for prohibited fields
+  for (const field of sensitiveFields) {
+    if (req.body[field]) {
+      logger.warn('Sensitive data blocked', { field, userId: req.user.id });
+      return res.status(400).json({
+        error: 'Sensitive card data not allowed',
+      });
+    }
+  }
+
+  // ✅ Only safe data processed
+  const { amount, currency } = req.body;
+  // ... create Payment Intent
+}
+```
+
+**Validation:** ✅ PASS (E2E test: `should reject request with card data`)
+
+### 3. Stripe Elements Integration (Client-Side Tokenization)
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ COMPLIANT: Card data sent to Stripe, NOT our backend
+
+import { CardElement, useStripe } from '@stripe/react-stripe-js';
+
+function DepositForm() {
+  const stripe = useStripe();
+
+  const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
+    e.preventDefault();
+
+    // Step 1: Backend creates Payment Intent (NO card data)
+    const { clientSecret } = await fetch('/api/v1/payments/wallet/deposit', {
+      method: 'POST',
+      body: JSON.stringify({
+        amount: 100,         // ✅ Safe
+        currency: 'USD',     // ✅ Safe
+        // ❌ NO cardNumber, cvv, expiryDate
+      }),
+    }).then(r => r.json());
+
+    // Step 2: Stripe confirms payment (card data goes to Stripe, NOT our server)
+    const { error, paymentIntent } = await stripe.confirmCardPayment(
+      clientSecret,
+      {
+        payment_method: {
+          card: cardElement, // ← Stripe iframe (hosted by Stripe)
+        },
+      }
+    );
+
+    if (paymentIntent.status === 'succeeded') {
+      // ✅ Payment successful (webhook will update database)
+    }
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
+      {/* ✅ Stripe CardElement = iframe from stripe.com */}
+      <CardElement options={cardElementOptions} />
+      <button type="submit">Pay</button>
+    </form>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**Validation:** ✅ PASS (E2E test: `should create Payment Intent and confirm with Stripe`)
+
+### 4. Webhook Signature Verification
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ COMPLIANT: Webhook signatures verified
+
+export async function handleStripeWebhook(req, res) {
+  const signature = req.headers['stripe-signature'];
+  const webhookSecret = process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET;
+
+  try {
+    // ✅ Verify signature (prevents spoofing)
+    const event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(
+      req.body,
+      signature,
+      webhookSecret
+    );
+
+    // Process verified event
+    if (event.type === 'payment_intent.succeeded') {
+      await updateTransactionStatus(event.data.object.id, 'completed');
+    }
+
+    res.json({ received: true });
+  } catch (err) {
+    // ❌ Invalid signature - reject
+    logger.error('Webhook signature verification failed', { error: err });
+    return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Invalid signature' });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Validation:** ✅ PASS (E2E test: `should verify Stripe webhook signature`)

+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -d '{
+    "amount": 100,
+    "currency": "USD",
+    "cardNumber": "4242424242424242",
+    "cvv": "123"
+  }'
+
+# Expected: HTTP 400 Bad Request
+# Response: {"error":"Sensitive card data not allowed"}
+```
+
+**Result:** ✅ PASS (Blocked)
+
+#### 2. Webhook Spoofing Attempt
+
+**Test:** Send webhook without valid signature
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://api.trading-platform.com/api/v1/payments/webhook \
+  -H "stripe-signature: invalid_signature" \
+  -d '{"type":"payment_intent.succeeded"}'
+
+# Expected: HTTP 400 Bad Request
+# Response: {"error":"Webhook signature verification failed"}
+```
+
+**Result:** ✅ PASS (Rejected)
+
+#### 3. Database Injection Test
+
+**Test:** Attempt SQL injection in payment endpoint
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://api.trading-platform.com/api/v1/payments/wallet/deposit \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -d '{
+    "amount": "100; DROP TABLE transactions;--",
+    "currency": "USD"
+  }'
+
+# Expected: HTTP 400 Bad Request
+# Response: {"error":"Invalid amount"}
+```
+
+**Result:** ✅ PASS (Parameterized queries prevent injection)
+
