Why this course
Senior Vice Presidents running Cybersecurity at payments platforms (the firm, Fiserv, FIS, Worldpay, Stripe, Adyen, Block) balance PCI DSS 4.0 sustainment, card-issuer integration, multi-regulator engagement (CFPB, NYDFS, EBA, MAS, APRA), and the customer-side incident response programme. The board reads the cybersecurity programme as a single line item. The integrated programme that holds across all four pressures is the gap.
The course delivers the integrated cybersecurity programme playbook. The PCI DSS 4.0 sustainment framework. The customer-side card-issuer integration. The customer-side regulator engagement framework. The customer-side incident response framework. The customer-side third-party risk management framework. The customer-side workforce integration. The customer-side data-platform integration. The customer-side board reporting framework. Twelve modules with deliverables. Plus a hand-built playbook for your platform.

Before and after
Before
Four pressures handled separately. Board reads single line item. Cybersecurity SVP sees fragmented programme.
After
Integrated cybersecurity programme playbook. Board reads coherent programme. Cybersecurity SVP defends coherent reporting.
What happens if you do not address this
PCI DSS 4.0 enforcement, multi-regulator examination cadences do not pause. Payments-platform cybersecurity SVPs that do not integrate compound regulatory risk into 2027.
Who it is for
For Senior Vice Presidents running Cybersecurity at payments platforms, principal cybersecurity consultants serving payments platforms.
Who this is NOT for. Pure non-payments-platform practitioners. Practitioners with no SVP-level cybersecurity context.
How it arrives
Text-based course via LMS, plus downloadable templates and worked examples and the hand-built playbook.
Time investment. Roughly 18 hours of reading and 60 to 120 hours of build effort across the 10-week plan.
Why $199 is the right number
External payments-platform cybersecurity programme consultants charge from 200,000 to 1,500,000 USD. 199 USD buys the focused playbook and the implementation document for your platform.
