- Overview
Validate your payment application to support PCI DSS
Managing the security of payment applications with the PA DSS or SSF validation ensures that application security controls and software are developed with best security practices.Â
Having an application validated to the PA DSS, or SSF standards enables you to demonstrate to acquiring banks, payment processors, payment card brands, and merchants that your application development is according to industry best practices.
Our dedicated team of application security professionals have consulted on application security assessments since the beginning of the PA DSS program.
