PCI DSS e-learning helps meet the staff awareness requirements
/EINPresswire.com/ IT Governance Ltd, the PCI and information security experts are reminding organisations that staff awareness of their company's information security policy is a compulsory requirement of the PCI DSS standard. Therefore, the company has designed a special PCI DSS Online Staff Awareness course which will help organisations train their staff for as little as £45 per single user licence, with bulk discounts available for larger numbers of learners (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/1821).
All organisations that store, process or transmit payment card information must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Failure to comply with PCI DSS may result in being fined or even permanently excluded from a payment card scheme. More importantly, the failure to implement an effective information security awareness programme may result in the loss of valuable information and the confidence of your customers.
The PCI DSS is a key weapon in the battle against the cybercriminals and staff training in this is one of the specific PCI DSS requirements. The PCI DSS Online Staff Awareness course (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/1821) will increase employees' awareness of the PCI DSS requirements, and will provide clear and simple explanations of what companies and individual employees must do to meet the requirements of the recently released version (v2.0) of the standard.
In the current economic climate, e-learning brings direct efficiency gains to organisations. Normal training costs for instructors, meeting rooms, travel, accommodation or subsistence have been eradicated with this e-learning course. The time staff spend away from their desks when training is minimised and students can take the 40-minute PCI DSS Online Staff Awareness course at their desks, or at home. The e-learning course includes a test at the end comprising of 20 multiple choice questions with. If staff pass, a printable certificate is awarded. However, should they not reach the pass mark first time around, staff have the opportunity to re-take the test until the pass mark is achieved.
Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, comments, "Positive, aware and well trained members of staff are a key part of ensuring that you fully comply with the PCI DSS standard and protect the crucial intellectual assets of your organisation, namely your confidential information, relationships and reputation."
One-year user licences can be purchased individually for just £45 each or in bulk at discounted prices, here www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/1821. 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.
