New “Getting your head round PCI Compliance” Course April 7, 2011

Just a quick update for our UK readers who take credit card payments and donations. 

If you (or anyone you work with or for) is still having trouble getting their heads round all the PCI Compliance rules, regulations, red-tape and general annoyance, or if you have recently taken on new staff who missed all the training first time round, you might be interested in the PCI Foundation Course being run in May by IT Governance.  (With similar course scheduled later in the year if you are reading this later than May!)

The course is designed for anyone with any responsibility for, or involvement in, your organisation’s PCI DSS compliance activities, and anyone involved in information security management generally.  It has been created and designed by a former QSA (Qualified Security Assessor) who knows all the ins and outs of PCI compliance and aims to give you a comprehensive and practical coverage of all aspects of implementing the PCI DSS in the “real world” – rather than just on paper where everything is always so much easier!

It is designed to help you develop an efficient, cost-effective plan for meeting the PCI compliance standards. You can find out more about it here: PCI Foundation Training Course

Just to be clear, the link above is an affiliate link which means you get the same price (and discounts) as anyone else visiting the IT Governance website directly, but if you do choose to book, IT Governance pay us a small comission for letting you know about them.  But regardless of whether they pay us or not, we would still be telling you about this because we know how much of a pain PCI Compliance is for a lot of charities and we think this course can help.
