Frequently asked

Is this course relevant if my AI systems don’t directly process card data?
Yes. Many indirect interactions, such as customer service chatbots, fraud scoring models, or credit decision engines, still fall under PCI scope due to data proximity and influence on payment outcomes.
How is the course structured?
12 modules, each containing 12 chapters (144 chapters total).
Does the course cover other frameworks beyond PCI DSS?
The core structure follows PCI DSS, but principles are transferable to other standards like GLBA, SOX, and FFIEC guidance. The focus remains on implementation within payment security contexts.
