QIR stands for what?

• A. Qualified Internal Reviewer
• B. Qualified Incident Responder
• C. Qualified Information Resource
• D. Qualified Integrator Reseller

Answer: (D)

In PCI terms, QIR refers to the Qualified Integrator and Reseller program. This designation applies to organizations that install, integrate, or resell payment applications and related solutions, with an emphasis on ensuring they are trained and validated to deploy these systems securely so they don’t compromise cardholder data.

The option that best fits this concept is the one that includes both roles: integrator and reseller. The other choices describe different functions (internal reviewer, incident responder, information resource) that do not align with the PCI QIR program’s focus on secure installation and integration of payment applications.
