UCG Payment application data security standard services
Any application that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data falls within the scope of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). If this application is sold to 3rd parties, it falls within the compliance program known as Payment Application Data Security Standard or PA-DSS. The goal of PA-DSS is to help software vendors and others develop secure payment applications that do not store prohibited data, such as full magnetic stripe, CVV2 or PIN data, and ensure their payment applications support compliance with the PCI DSS.
