I wish I had had the PCI workshops and resources that included easy to follow directions and training that came in smaller, easier to consume learning modules when I started walking down the PCI path.

Trying to learn everything about PCI DSS Compliance in an 8 hour or 12 hour training session is like drinking from a fire hose.

My first year was numbing. My ISA training didn’t teach me the practical knowledge that I needed to run an effective and efficient PCI DSS Compliance program.

  • No one teaches you how to do a scope assessment.
  • No one teaches you how to plan and manag a Report on Compliance.
  • No one teaches you how to ensure you’re collecting the right evidence to prove compliance. 
  • No one teaches you how to create and implement a successful continuous PCI Compliance program

To my former PCI ISA newbie self and all the other newbies out there, Payment Card Assessments has created what you wish existed all those years ago. 

Why would we create easy to consume PCI workshops?

Two reasons: 

  1. We’ve known for years that critical aspects of running an effective continuous PCI DSS Compliance program don’t exist anywhere – not even through the PCI SSC and
  2. We believe that new to PCI cybersecurity analysts or GRC specialists should never feel dazed and confused when they’re starting their compliance journey.

Will you be joining us in January for these critical PCI Workshops?

If you’re serious about becoming a PCI DSS rockstar, we’ll see you soon.

And if you’re a merchant or service provider organization, you’ll want to send your compliance and cybersecurity teams to our PCI workshops.

We look forward to helping you get your PCI Compliance house in order in 2023!

4 Smart Ways To Stop Overcomplicating PCI Compliance

You can do PCI Compliance the Smart Way or the Hard Way. Which way do you choose?

You know that saying, “objects appear bigger in the rearview mirror,” right?

When it comes to PCI Compliance, satisfying the requirements often looks bigger the more you stare at them. And when you look at the requirements in isolation, they often look next to impossible to implement. Your brain (and my brain) want to over complicate what needs to be in place to secure the cardholder data environment.

Maybe you jump immediately to implementing the newest shiny security tool without thinking of how it will impact other in scope systems.

Maybe you leap to more complexity by adding layers of security controls and processes when one solid, repeatable process will do.

Or maybe you bury your head in the sand and sing lalalalalalalalalalala….(honestly, there were days I wish I could’ve done that!)

PCI Compliance doesn’t have to be complicated.

Here’s 4 smart ways to stop overcomplicating your PCI Compliance program:
