Framework
Questionnaire Updated
The ATO recently updated the DSP Operational Framework Questionnaire to include an additional section about add-on marketplaces to
support the work of the SSAM. If you're a DSP recertifying against the Operational Framework soon, you'll notice there is an additional
question asking whether you host an API powered third party marketplace. To support this, there are also further questions in Section E
of
the questionnaire. More information is available on the ATO's Software Developer website.
