PCI SSF

PCI SSF is a set of security standards built for the secure development and design of payment software. SSF, as the full form implies, is a software security framework that caters to conventional modern payment tools.
Risk Associates recognizes that your payment software's security is an essential component of the payment transaction cycle to deliver reliable payment transactions. Our PCI SSF assessment services ensure objective-focused security is utilized in your infrastructure.

Why Does Your Business Need PCI SSF Assessment?

When PA DSS expires in 2022, your company will need PCI SSF to adopt a more comprehensive security standard for maintaining payment software to eliminate vulnerabilities, protect payment data, and defend against cyber-attacks. Why wait till then?

PCI SSF allows you to validate changes for payment software and supports software development methodologies. Our PCI SSF assessment services validate your software lifecycle and payment software to ensure payment transactions' secure and seamless operation.

How PCI SSF Works

If you loved PA DSS, the PCI SSF is a significant upgrade on that. PCI SSF comprises of two security standards:

Secure Software Standard
This standard defines the qualification criteria for different types of payment software for listing and analysis. At launch, the stipulated criteria only qualify payment software tools that are manufactured by a vendor who has worked on supporting payment transactions that accept, store, and send account data available to organizations that are legible for listing and validation. However, future versions of the standard may accept applications that are not eligible at the moment but maybe down the road.
Secure Software Lifecycle Standard
A vendor can decide to evaluate their software lifecycle procedures against Secure SLC Standard to showcase the enterprise's ability and dedication to implementing secure software development protocols.
This qualification proves that the vendor possesses proven SLC practices set up to guarantee the payment software can minimize vulnerabilities, protect transactions, and combat cyber-attacks. The standard also shows the vendor's procedures, personnel, and technology involved in the manufacturing and development of the software and throughout the software lifecycle.
Unlike PA DSS, this framework accommodates a wide-ranging array of payment platforms, including validation programs and more flexibility for vendors to deliver a stable validation process. PCI SSF focuses mainly on the secure design and development of your existing payment software.
PCI SSF supports multiple security protocols and provides supporting material in the form of reporting templates, and allows you to evaluate your management process independent of the actual payment process for the product.
