The popularity of mobile payments is growing, and with it, the demand for verified security. usd AG is expanding its activities in the EPI environment and will also conduct Mobile Security Evaluations in the future.
This places us among the few EPI-listed Security Evaluators qualified to conduct both Mobile Security Evaluations and PSP Evaluations.
This expansion reflects the unique combination of our payment audit expertise and the deep technical knowledge within usd. By bringing these strengths together, we pair long-standing experience in assessing payment security with the capability to perform in-depth technical evaluations of mobile payment solutions.
Integrated Security Evaluations for Backend and Mobile Components
In addition to evaluating backend and payment processing systems, we are now also assessing mobile payment apps, wallets, and their integrations. For your business, this means a comprehensive security assessment rather than fragmented individual tests.
In practice, risks often arise at the interfaces between the app, the wallet, other interfaces, and the backend. That’s why we now evaluate your payment solution by considering how all components interact. This provides you with a consistent foundation for your EPI-compliant security assessment - without parallel testing processes and without differing evaluation criteria.
Hands-On Support for Your Implementation
With our expanded portfolio in the EPI environment, we provide you with targeted support as a Security Evaluator in implementing the following EPI requirements:
- Security Assessments for Mobile Payment Apps and Wallets
- Support for Wallet and Payment Integrations
- Evaluation of Backend and PSP Components in the Overall Context
- Support with Audit Preparation
We are pleased to further expand our EPI offering by adding Mobile Security Evaluations to our portfolio. Demand for end-to-end EPI assessments continues to grow, while only a limited number of providers are qualified to cover both Mobile Security Evaluations and PSP Evaluations. This expansion allows us to support clients across multiple components of their payment ecosystem with a consistent approach, a single point of contact, and reliable, transparent results.
