Why our services are important to you

The PCI SSF is a collection of standards and programs for the secure design and development of payment software. Security of payment software is a crucial part of the payment transaction flow and is essential to facilitate reliable and accurate payment transactions. The SSF replaces the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) with modern requirements that support a broader array of payment software types, technologies, and development methodologies. With its outcome-focused requirements, the SSF provides more agility for developers to incorporate payment application security with nimble development practices and frequent update cycles. The SSF enables accelerated provision of customization and features for payment applications for merchants without compromising security. It also improves consistency and transparency in testing payment applications, which elevates validation assurance for merchants, service providers, and acquirers that implement and manage the use of payment solutions.
