PA-DSS & SSF

Service Overview

Your Path to Achieving PA-DSS And SSF Compliance

The Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) is the current and outgoing standard for payment applications that stores, process or transmits electronic credit card data. Entities benefit from the use of certified PA-DSS apps by reducing the scope of their own PCI assessment and mitigating the risk associate with developing a payment application.

PCI Software Security Framework ( SSF ) is an evolution of PA-DSS which provides validation programs for both the applications themselves as well as the Software Life Cycle necessary for the secure design and development of payment applications.  The SSF program breaks down into two separate certifications the Secure Software standard and Secure SLC standard.

How It Works

The PCI Secure Software standard outlines security requirements and assessment procedures to help ensure payment software adequately protects the integrity and confidentiality of payment transactions and data. 

It also outlines security requirements and assessment procedures for software vendors to validate how they properly manage the security of payment software throughout the entire software Lifecycle.

STEP 1
► Project scope and data collection
Your PA-QSA will schedule a series of calls to obtain a high-level overview of your payment app environment, which allows MegaplanIT to determine the scope of the project and identify which documents must be collected.
STEP 1
STEP 2
► Data gathering, review, and analysis
The assigned PA-QSA will evaluate all documentation against the PA-DSS and PCI-DSS requirements and identify security gaps.
STEP 2
STEP 3
► Application penetration testing
MegaplanIT will conduct network penetration testing within a secure lab environment that targets selected payment applications to identify vulnerabilities.
STEP 3
STEP 4
► On-site visit
The PA-QSA will make an on-site visit to your critical payment environment to collect follow-up evidence and validate which security controls are in place and compliant.
STEP 4
STEP 5
► MegaplanIT QA cycle
Your PA-QSA will then submit the draft Report on Validation to MegaplanIT's Director of Compliance Services for review, and the Quality Assurance lead will ensure all findings are in accordance with PA-DSS.
STEP 5
STEP 6
► Deliver final Report on Validation
Your final Report on Validation will be sent to your team for review and your PA-QSA will schedule a meeting (either on-site or remote) to discuss the findings or points of interest within the report.
