PA DSS

PA DSS stands for payment application, and the main purpose is to allow software vendors to develop secure payment applications which do not store data that is prohibited, while being fully compliant with PCI DSS. If you are a software vendor who is looking for a practical approach to meeting the PA DSS requirement, please contact us for more information.

The PCI SSC has issued the following definition: “Payment applications that are sold, distributed or licensed to third parties are subject to the PA-DSS requirements. In-house payment applications developed by merchants or service providers that are not sold to a third party are not subject to the PA-DSS requirements, but must still be secured in accordance with the PCI DSS.“

GRSee Consulting is a Payment Application Qualified Security Assessor, and we are proud to offer the following PA DSS related services:

Orientation Meeting

This meeting will be the time when GRSee Consulting professionals explain the whole process of meeting the PCI SSC requirements. We will also take this time to determine, with the client, the complete range of the PA DSS project that is needed to meet such requirements. This orientation meeting is free of charge to all clients.

PA-DSS Gap Analysis

GRSee Consulting professionals will perform an audit of the payment application according to PA DSS requirements. The results of the audit will then be used to identifythe strong and weak points in the payment application, and will focus on the shortest and most efficient path that can be taken to comply with PCI SSC.

Gap Identification

The completed audit will showcase the gaps between the requirements of PA DSS and the client’s current status. If necessary, recommendations can be made for any immediate actions and/or improvements that may be needed to improve the current situation.

Remediation Process

GRSee Consulting professionals can also work with the client on a continual basis until all potential issues or problems are addressed, and the payment application is completely compliant with the PA DSS requirements.

Certification

GRSee Consulting is a certified PA QSA. We work with some of the largest payment application vendors worldwide on their PA DSS compliancy projects and certifications.
