Version 4.0 of the PCI DSS was published on 31 March 2022 to meet the evolving cyber security needs of the payments industry, promote security as a continuous process and enable organisations to use different methods to achieve their security objectives.
To provide organisations with the time to implement the more complex requirements of version 4.0, the current PCI DSS v3.2.1 will remain active for two years until it is retired on 31 March 2024. If you require an introduction to PCI DSS v3.2.1, please purchase our Self-paced online course.
The PCI DSS Foundation Training Course provides a comprehensive introduction to PCI DSS v4.0. Delivered by an experienced PCI DSS consultant, this one-day course explains the requirements of the Standard and how they can be applied to protect payment card data within your organisation.
You will get an understanding of:
A comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of PCI DSS v4.0 compliance.
Designed by PCI QSAs, with an auditor’s perspective on PCI DSS scoping, scope reduction, gap analysis and remediation.
Taught by a PCI DSS consultant with extensive experience of helping organisations of all sizes achieve PCI DSS compliance.
