Ashok did a fabulous job explaining the PCI Standard in a manner that most accountants should be able to comprehend. As more and more breaches make the headlines each year, every company should make sure they are doing everything possible to keep their customers' credit card data safe.

Excellent course that went through the PCI/DSS standards, the parties in the credit card business, and mostly the compliance requirements for the merchants and different levels.

Liked that it was short, concise, and well-explained throughout. It wasn't too confusing or to simple. Any employee looking to get into PCI compliance will benefit from this.

Ashok did a nice job addressing the topic at a level understandable by a business professional that isn't well versed in security terminology and concepts. Well done!

Good one hour class. While it was a summary, there was also enough detail for the class to be meaningful. The slides and links helpful if more details needed.
