Online e-Learning - Ideal for PCI Staff Awareness
IT Governance Ltd, the PCI and information security specialists, today announced further sales of its successful e-learning course: "PCI DSS v2.0 - Staff Awareness" (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/1821).
"Staff awareness training is critical to PCI DSS compliance," says IT Governance CEO, Alan Calder. "No matter how many technical controls are implemented, payment card data is not completely secure unless the employees are trained in security awareness policies and procedures."
Lack of security awareness by users was cited as the second greatest threat facing organizations in the Global Information Security Survey conducted by Ernst & Young as far back as 2004 and, with the proliferation of cyber threats ever since, it is not surprising that PCI DSS v2.0 places such an emphasis on the need for effective, complete and repeated staff awareness training.
Compliance with PCI DSS means that organizations must carry out staff induction and information security awareness training - and maintain evidence that is has been delivered and that staff understood the lessons. The IT Governance PCI DSS v2.0 e-learning course helps organisations achieve those objectives:
• the content of this 40-minute course is comprehensive, and tested across years of delivering staff awareness courses to client organisations;
• Employers can track and evidence training across all members of staff, avoiding that familiar problem of having three people left to train and no more classroom courses planned;
• Employees can evidence their understanding of the subject by passing the included online test and a copy of the test certificate can be added to employee HR files as evidence of training;
• e-learning is cost-effective and requires minimal administrative organisation and employees can do the training in their own time and at their own pace, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the subject matter.
One year user licences can be purchased one-at-a-time for just £45 each, or in bulk at discounted prices. For larger numbers of users, a customisable version of the course is available which enables clients to closely tie the e-learning content to their own procedures and culture - and it is this easy customization that is particularly driving organisations to deploy IT Governance PCI DSS v2.0 e-learning (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/1821) course - a significant step forward in terms of quality and traceability of PCI staff awareness training.
