“This milestone assessment will now lead the rapid adoption of next-generation PCI cyber standards,” said Nick Trenc, SSF practice leader at Coalfire. “The first SSF/SSLC assessment marks the beginning of a new era in payment data protection and the chance for early-adopter merchants and developers to stay ahead of the competition.”
Also, of historic note, the assessment was conducted remotely in line with PCI SSC’s guidance due to the pandemic. “These new processes represent the future of secure commerce,” said Trenc. “We’re honored to work with the PCI Council and industry leaders, and we share their dedication to setting new standards in defending against cybercrime.”
