The PCI SSC Standards Training class is based directly on the PCI SSC Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) training program. Attendees will learn what the QSAs learn so they can better prepare for an on-site PCI DSS assessment or perform the assessment internally.
PCI Program – This module will focus on defining the payment card industry, discussing payment transaction flows, and reviewing Payment Brand compliance programs.
Scoping a PCI DSS Assessment – This module will discuss cardholder data discovery including cardholder data flow and cardholder data storage. This section will also discuss network segmentation and defining the scope of the PCI DSS assessment.
PCI DSS v1.2 Requirements – This module will take a detailed look at the PCI DSS v1.2 requirements. The training will cover the interpretation of the requirements, the testing procedures, and how to apply the testing procedures based on the scope of the assessment. This section will also include case study review of actual assessment situations to prepare the students for real world PCI DSS assessments.
Compensating Controls – This module will discuss compensating controls and review examples of both acceptable controls and compensating controls that do not meet the compensating control worksheet requirements.
In addition to the QSA training materials, the Standards Training class will also cover how to develop an internal PCI DSS compliance program to sustain PCI compliance after the on-site assessment is complete. The PCI DSS Compliance module will discuss how to develop an internal compliance program, sustain PCI DSS compliance and discuss security best practices outside of PCI DSS to improve the merchants overall security program.
