PCI Implementer Accreditation

Overview:

The PCI Implementer accreditation focuses on the 12 requirements and different situations they are applied in.

At Nexpay, I took our lead employee through accreditation for this course.

What is a PCI DSS Implementer?

A PCI DSS Implementer has a deep understanding on the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and its implementation. Specifically; the assessment per acceptance type, test procedures, reporting requirements, SAQ’s, PCI auditors, cardholder environments, scoping and reductions, gap analysis, remediation and compensating controls.

This accreditation provides our implementer with a holistic prioritised approach to fraud and the recognition to resolve issues where a compensating control may or may not be appropriate for such controls.
