Software Security Framework (SSF) Assessor companies are independent security organizations that have been qualified by the PCI Security Standards Council to validate a vendor's payment software and/or to evaluate a vendor's software lifecycle.
Secure Software Assessors are employed by an SSF Assessor Company and have satisfied and continue to satisfy all applicable requirements to perform Secure Software Assessments.
Secure Software Lifecycle (SLC) Assessors are employed by an SSF Assessor Company and have satisfied and continue to satisfy all applicable requirements to perform Secure SLC Assessments.
The PCI Security Standards Council maintains an in-depth program for companies and their employees seeking to be certified as SSF Assessors, or re-certified as SSF Assessors each year.
Certification and re-certification indicate only that the applicable Assessor has successfully met all PCI Security Standards Council requirements to perform Secure SLC and/or Secure Software assessments. The Council does not endorse these providers or their business processes or practices.
Although the PCI Security Standards Council strives to ensure that the list of SSF Assessors on this page is accurate, the list is updated frequently, and the Council cannot guarantee that the list is current at all times. Accordingly, clients are advised to check this list regularly to ensure that Assessors have successfully maintained their status as SSF Assessors.
