PCI DSS Foundation Training Course

Training course outline

Version 4.0 of the PCI DSS was published on March 31,2022 to meet the evolving cybersecurity needs of the payments industry, promote security as a continuous process, and enable organizations to use different methods to achieve their security objectives.

To provide organizations 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 March 31, 2024. If you require an introduction to PCI DSS v3.2.1, please purchase our self-paced online course.
