The E-Service Software Security and Quality Assurance (SSQA) certification process is designed to enhance the security and quality of online services and establish a standardized set of controls that encourage secure systems development.
Independent and accredited service providers through evidence-based audits assess compliance of a system or service's development in line with these controls.
As part of the National Information Security Compliance Framework (NISCF), government entities and private companies can have their E-services assessed prior to deployment into operations.
