| Technical Working Groups are appointed by the Management Committee. The purpose of these groups is to research security topics and develop guidelines to be implemented by the alliance. Each Technical Working Group works on a per-project basis bringing together specialists from each of the SPVA members companies. Through regular meetings, these teams liaise to develop the outputs required to design recommendations and solutions that would be impossible without such industry cooperation. Participation is open to any SPVA member.
Current projects are:
- Common Understanding of Security Standards — Our goal is to release a common interpretation of existing security standards and to foster
widespread compliance.
- Security of the Payment Device Lifecycle — Our goal is to develop end-to-end lifecycle management protocols and to suggest security
standards and audit procedures over development, manufacturing, supply chain,
deployment, and repair.
- Security Threat Analysis and Intelligence — Our goal is to educate and provide resources for members regarding current threats and ways
to mitigate them.
- End-to-End Encryption — Our goal is to create recommended implementation guidelines for the encryption of cardholder
data utilizing hardware-level security.
