Benefits of PCI DSS Compliance
Relationship between PCI DSS and PA-DSS
The compliance application of Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) does not make an organisation PCI DSS compatible, because that application shall be executed into a PCI DSS compatible environment and the PA-DSS execution guide provided by the payment application vendor should be followed.
An organisation's PCI DSS assessment includes all the applications that process, store, or transmit cardholder data, comprising applications that have been validated to PA-DSS. The estimation of PCI DSS ought to authenticate the PA-DSS authenticated payment application is accurately constituted and securely fulfilled as per PCI DSS provisions. A more detailed review will be required during the PCI DSS estimation if the payment application has gone through any customisation, because the application may not now represent the version that was approved in PA-DSS compliance.
