Plante & Moran is offering a complimentary webinar on Data Security Requirements for Credit Cards on Thursday, Jan. 28, 2010. If your district depends on the convenience of credit cards as a form of payment, you need to comply with the Data Security Standards of the Payment Card Industry. The Payment Card Industry (PCI) requires any organization that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data to comply with its data security standards (DSS) regardless of the quantity of credit card transactions. Due to recent increases in identity theft incidents, the card issuers are moving towards enforcing full compliance by all affected organizations.
This webinar will help you gain a better understanding of PCI and the steps your district will need to take to achieve compliance.
Topics include:
- What is PCI compliance
- Why PCI compliance is relevant to K-12
- Steps required by a district to achieve PCI compliance
- Benefits of achieving compliance
- Risks and penalties of noncompliance
- Costs associated with obtaining and maintaining PCI compliance
Date: Thursday, Jan. 28, 2010 • Time: 2 – 3 pm EST Register Online.
Presenters: Judy Wright, Partner, Education Consulting Practice and Joe Oleksak, Consulting Manager, Security Assurance Practice
