This course is relevant for all organizations that manage cardholder data. According to the Payment Card Industry Security Standard Council (PCI SSC), "PCI DSS is intended for all entities that store, process, or transmit cardholder data (CHD) and/or sensitive authentication data (SAD) or could impact the security of the cardholder data and/or sensitive authentication data. This includes all entities involved in payment account processing -including merchants, processors, acquirers, issuers, and other service providers." Organizations that utilize a third-party service provider are also required to comply with PCI DSS. PCI SSC states, "Even though a multi-tenant service provider may meet these requirements, each customer is still responsible to comply with the PCI DSS requirements that are applicable to its environment and validate compliance as applicable."
Course activities include section quizzes, final quiz and a capstone project. Every course section contains a quiz to keep you engaged and test your knowledge retention. A final course quiz combines questions from every section to ensure you comprehend the course content in its entirety. Finally, the capstone project is a 30-day action plan designed to assist you with launching a PCI DSS Compliance program within your organization.
