Introduction to PCI DSS
Understanding the PCI DSS and its Requirements
This one-day course is aimed at organisations and individuals interested in understanding the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) V4 and exactly how it applies to them. The course covers the scope of the PCI DSS and how it applies to an organisation as well as what is involved in a PCI DSS assessment. It also aims to help you interpret the standard’s 12 requirements and sub-requirements.
The objective of the course is to provide delegates with clear and practical guidance on how to interpret the PCI DSS and how to meet the requirements within their organisation. The course, which is a combination of PowerPoint presentations and class discussions, focuses on providing an informal and interactive environment which is conducive to learning.
By the end of the day, delegates will be able to describe what the PCI DSS is, which of the self-assessment questionnaires or assessments apply to their organisation, how to scope a PCI DSS project, and what is involved in the assessment process.
