Protecting Cardholder Data
While cardholder data consists of any personally identifiable information (PII) associated with a person who has a credit or debit card, the PCI Secure Standards Council (PCI SSC) has specific requirements to protect cardholder data at all times. Despite common misconceptions, this also includes account numbers, expiration date and/or service code as cardholder data. This course is designed to provide Information Systems Security Developers with the knowledge needed to minimize the storage of cardholder data and take necessary precautions to protect it in adherence to the PCI Software Security Framework and NIST 800-53 Guidelines.
