'If you store card holder data, PCI DSS training is a must', says expert
/EINPresswire.com/ The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) aims to decrease payment card fraud across the internet and increase credit card data security. PCI compliance is evidence that an organisation is committed to safeguarding their customer's data.
Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, says, 'Companies that do not make protection of credit card information and other personal data a priority, risk a lot. Failure to comply with the PCI DSS requirements might result in heavy fines, restrictions, or even permanent expulsion from payment card acceptance programmes. In effect, it costs organisations more to be non-compliant as the bank charges them for incompliance.'
'Compliance with the PCI DSS standard requires both action and skills. If you cannot afford to hire a consultant, you must train staff internally to deliver the project. The fastest way to achieve compliance is to attend a PCI DSS training course which will enable the project team to develop an efficient and cost-effective plan for meeting these requirements.'
The PCI Foundation Training Course from IT Governance provides a comprehensive and practical coverage of all aspects of implementing the PCI DSS. It explains the 12 key requirements of the PCI DSS and their multitude of mandatory sub-requirements. It offers insight on how to effectively scope an organisation's cardholder data environment and identifies areas which should be addressed as a matter of urgency. More information is available here: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/1858.
The PCI Foundation Training Course can be combined with the PCI DSS v2.0 Documentation Compliance Toolkit, which will enable delegates to implement very quickly what they have learned on the course.
The PCI DSS v2.0 Documentation Compliance Toolkit provides document templates for all the mandatory PCI DSS policies, implementation guidelines and guidance on integrating with ISO27001 - the international standard for an information security management system. Find out more about the toolkit here: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/1337.
Organisations can book delegates onto the course online here www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/1858. Course places can also be booked directly with the friendly, helpful IT Governance service centre team on telephone number +44 (0)845 070 1750.
