Security evaluations in the payment domain

Brightsight offers security evaluation services for each phase of the development process. Our services aim to provide support such that development can be performed in the shortest possible time frames, as time-to-market is extremely important in the payment market. Evaluations are performed in a structured way and with a planning the developer can rely on.

Hardware and software security design reviews

At specifically selected milestones along the development process, the implementation is assessed for obvious security concerns. This service can be applied at various stages of the process, from initial design to concrete implementation. Depending on developer preference, the assessment can be performed interactively, remotely or as a combination of these two methods.

Full formal security compliance evaluations

Once developed and considered ready, the final implementation is subjected to a full formal and highly structured evaluation process that allows for planning and facilitates essential implementation revisions with minimal impact on time-to-market. The added value of the SGS Brightsight evaluation process is the educational component that brings the development team to a higher level for future developments.
