PCI Secure Software Framework

Our Certified Secure Software Framework Assessors Offer Expert Guidance And Support To achieve PCI Secure Software Framework Compliance.

With the expiration of PCI DSS, the PCI Security Standards Council has unveiled the PCI Software Security Framework (SSF), a comprehensive collection of standards and programs tailored to the secure design and development of payment software. 

What We offer: 

  • Provides assurance regarding the security of both traditional and modern payment software, as well as forthcoming advancements.
  • Prioritizes security throughout the entire software development lifecycle.
  • Streamlines the adoption of agile software development processes and methodologies.

WHAT IS PCI Secure Software Framework? Who is it for?

STREAMLINE PCI SSF COMPLIANCE

The PCI SSF (payment card industry software security framework) is a specialized security framework crafted to support software vendors in creating and delivering secure payment applications to their clientele. It introduces an innovative method for affirming the security of both conventional and forthcoming payment software and applications.

The PCI SSF assessment comprises two integral components, the Secure Software Lifecycle (SLC) Standard and the Secure Software Assessment (SSA).

It is imperative to understand that these two components are distinct and separate. While an organization may necessitate an assessment of its payment applications via a Secure SLC assessment, it may not necessarily require a separate evaluation of the entity’s software through an SSA assessment.

Secure Software Standard (SSS)

Designed for payment software that is marketed, distributed, or licensed to external parties. This encompasses payment software meant for installation on customer systems as well as those provided to customers as a service via the Internet.

Secure Software Lifecycle Standard (SSLC)

Comprises a set of security requirements and corresponding test procedures for software vendors. It serves to confirm that they effectively oversee the security of payment software across its entire lifecycle.

Why Choose Ejabi InfoSec PCI Secure Software Framework?

  1. Provide assurance that effective security measures and protection mechanisms are in place to safeguard your customer’s card data.
  2. Mitigate the risk of penalties and complications in the event of a data breach.

  4. Attract new business from customers who prioritize PCI SSF compliance.
  5. Secures your organization’s spot in either the validated payment Software registry and/or the secure SLC-qualified vendor registry.

 

The PCI SSF encompasses a set of standards and programs dedicated to the secure design and development of payment software. Ensuring secure design, development, and implementation of payment software is essential for enabling reliable and precise payment transactions.

The SSF supersedes the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS), introducing enhanced security controls and requirements that cater to a wider range of payment software categories, technologies, and development approaches.
