pci compliance checklist 2017 - Introduction to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) - By AtoZ Compliance

Key Take Away:
This webinar will give you an understanding of PCI DSS its history, high level description, compliance, and impacts to your organization.
Overview:
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is one of few successful industries developed and maintained data security standards. Mandated compliance with a payment network enforced data security standard dates from 2001 when Visa instituted the Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP). It has evolved into the global, card payment industry wide data security standard called PCI DSS.
Each major payment network has specific mandates for organizations that must validate PCI DSS compliance. These organizations include financial institutions, third party service providers and merchants of all sizes. The principles specified in PCI DSS can be a guide for all organizations that wish to secure their sensitive data. PCI DSS security requirements can be applied to any sensitive data on your organization’s network. Your organization need not be involved with the payments process to benefit from exposure to PCI DSS.
Why Should You Attend:
This Webinar will prepare your organization to understand and potentially use PCI DSS to the organization’s benefit. Whether involved in the payments industry or not, this webinar will introduce you to PCI DSS, its impacts and its use in your business.
PCI DSS not only supports those in the payments business but provides insight to vendor managers into companies that have validated compliance. It can be used by organizations not directly involved with the payments business. It provides standards for security policies, technologies and ongoing processes that protect systems and networks from breaches and theft of sensitive data.
