12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Most security frameworks fade after audit season, yours should compound value across every cycle

The situation this course is for

Security work that doesn’t compound means repeating effort across vendor reviews, integration scopes, and internal assessments. Practitioners stay reactive, repeating the same justifications without ever building long-term influence.

Who this is for

Senior compliance and technology leaders in payment systems who lead cross-functional teams, own control mappings, and shape security posture , but want their work to have lasting impact across cycles and regions

Who this is not for

Junior auditors, consultants selling generic frameworks, or teams still building initial compliance from scratch

What you walk away with

  • A documented OWASP implementation playbook tailored to payment technology environments
  • Repeatable patterns for scoping and validating secure integrations
  • Evidence packages that stand up to regulator and internal review without rework
  • Confident articulation of control rationale with sources and examples on hand
  • A growing network of peers who reference your approach across business units
