building an environment for secure software development, change control, and management
PCI Secure SLC (Secure Software Lifecycle) Standard as one of the PCI SSF standards, focuses on implementing security concepts and activities throughout the entire software development lifecycle. As a component of the new PCI Secure Software Framework standard. put forth by the PCI Standard Security Council, to govern the associated validations related to the design and development of modern payment software systems.
Secure SLC is the first PCI standard that focuses on the vendor’s software development process. The new standard helps to mature SLC practices in the development phase itself to ensure their payment software can protect payment transactions, minimize vulnerabilities and defend against attacks.
The standard is designed to support a wider range of technologies, payment software types, and development methodologies compared to PA-DSS, addressing key security principles like “governance, threat identification, change management, secure software updates, and stakeholder communications.”.
The standard maintains a mature process for managing software security skills for secure development personnel. PCI Secure SLC standard focuses on:
building an environment for secure software development, change control, and management
improving communications for secure deployment, configuration and software updates.
better security guidelines that can be easily implemented within current industry accepted SDLC practices.
The key to implementing robust security controls lies in identifying the right scope, recognizing the difference between compliance and security and in sustaining compliance after successful control implementation.
