Prerequisites

There are no pre-requisites. However, we recommend that all delegates read the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) document downloadable from the PCI SSC website.

We further recommend that delegates familiarise themselves with standard, so that they come armed with questions about the control groups, and how they may be applied to their organisation.
