[All QSA_New_V4 Questions]

An entity wants to know if the Software Security Framework can be leveraged during their assessment. Which of the following software types would this apply to?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Software Security Framework Overview

PCI SSC's Software Security Framework (SSF) encompasses Secure Software Standard and Secure Software Lifecycle (Secure SLC) Standard.

Software developed under the Secure SLC Standard adheres to security-by-design principles and can leverage the SSF during PCI DSS assessments.

Applicability

The framework is primarily for software developed by entities or third parties adhering to PCI SSC standards.

It does not apply to legacy payment software listed under PA-DSS unless migrated to SSF.

Incorrect Options

Option A: Not all payment software qualifies; it must align with SSF requirements.

Option B: PCI PTS devices are subject to different security requirements.

Option C: PA-DSS-listed software does not automatically meet SSF standards without reassessment.

I'm going with C. Sounds like a classic PCI question, testing our knowledge of the different standards and requirements. At least they didn't ask about the kitchen sink this time!

I'm not sure, but I think D) Software developed by the entity in accordance with the Secure SLC Standard could also be a valid option.

Definitely C. Anyone who's been around the PCI block knows that the Software Security Framework is all about those PA-DSS certified apps. It's like asking which devices need a PTS approval - duh, PTS devices!

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'd have to double-check the details of the Software Security Framework to be certain. Maybe I should have paid more attention in that PCI training session.

But what about software developed by the entity in accordance with the Secure SLC Standard? Would that be covered too?
