SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, UNITED STATES, August 26, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — MegaplanIT Holdings, LLC, a cybersecurity and compliance firm, validated one of the first payment software vendors under the PCI Security Standards Council’s new Software Security Framework (SSF). The SSF/SLC compliance assessment demonstrates the payment vendor’s robust, secure software lifecycle and MegaplanIT’s commitment to building new and relevant compliance service offerings for its clients.

The Software Security Framework and its associated standards replace and expand on the legacy Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS). The SSF assessment methodology focuses on objective-based security testing and distinguishes payment software vendors that design, develop, and maintain secure payment software from non-validated solutions and processes. As an SSF Assessor company, MegaplanIT provides assessment services for payment applications under the Secure Software Standard and software development processes through the Secure Software Lifecycle (SLC) Standard.
