Braintree now wants SecurityMetrics tests

Not sure if this is just Security Metrics drumming up business, but it seems like Braintree has partnered with them and they (Braintree) want you to pass a SecurityMetrics test *and* have all the PCI documentation in place.

Could be a reason to switch to Square. We'll see.

ANYONE in cahoots with Security Metrics is just plain money hungry. Just sayin'. We (myzencarthost.com) have one of the few A+ ratings from SSLlabs but, we still have to give them five technical opinions for every false positive.

Checkout Security Metrics on Trustpilot or the BBB. Pretty horrifying.

What I can't figure out is if this is truly *required* by BrainTree or if it's just business development by Security Metrics.
