A PA-QSA certified assessor has been trained to assess if payment systems developed by a third-party comply with PA-DSS (Payment Application Data Security Standards).
The Payment Application Qualified Security Assessor (PA-QSA)™ Qualification training is held for companies as well as for individuals. PA-QSA companies are business entities that are certified by the PCI Security Standards Council to assess third-party payment apps. These business entities employ individuals trained to conduct the PA-DSS assessment as per the PA-QSA qualification requirement.
