MIS CDS have created a training session aimed specifically at businesses providing them with the tools and knowledge required to gain PCI accreditation.

International, to help facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security measures on a global basis. The standard includes a dozen security controls, including encryption, transaction logging and monitoring, along with authentication and access controls. Companies will face heavy fines and increased transaction rates for noncompliance with the standard. As a leading PCI Qualified Security Assessor (PCI QSA) Company, MIS CDS is providing a series of PCI "How to" sessions, sharing a step by step methodology enabling small retailers to attain PCI Accreditation with a minimum amount of effort but a maximum amount of support.
