About the course

Why take PCI-DSS Training?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is the security standard that applies to any organisation that stores, processes or transmits payment card data. Compliance is required by card brands and acquirers, and a failure can lead to fines, higher transaction costs or loss of the ability to take card payments.

This 16-hour live course explains PCI DSS v4.0.1: its goals, roles in the payment ecosystem and the twelve principal requirements. You learn how to scope the cardholder data environment, reduce scope through segmentation and tokenisation, choose between the defined and customised approaches, and prepare evidence for assessment.

Participants practise mapping real card data flows, identifying applicable requirements for different merchant and service-provider levels, filling in a Self-Assessment Questionnaire and understanding the structure of a Report on Compliance. The course gives a practical foundation for compliance teams, IT and security staff, and those planning to pursue PCI SSC professional qualifications.
