PA-DSS

Are you developing software that handles sensitive cardholder data? Is your software being used by Merchants or Service Providers?

The Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS), formerly referred to as the Payment Application Best Practices (PABP), is the global security standard created by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).

PA-DSS was implemented in an effort to provide the definitive data standard for software vendors that develop payment applications.

The standard aims to prevent developed payment applications for third parties from storing prohibited secure data including magnetic stripe, CVV2, or PIN.

Being a relatively young standard, the Credit Card companies began enforcing adherence to this standard in the last several years.With Konodo’s experience we will allow your organization to understand whether your products need certification, what steps you need to take if you want to become certified. And help your business get deeper understanding in regards to your requirements from the standard, and the ways you can benefit from becoming certified.
