PCI DSS & Payment Card Security
Protect card data and pass assessments.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
The institution has policies for pci dss — and no rehearsed response. When it happens, the first two hours will be improvised by whoever answers the phone. The gap between the risk function and the operator is where institutions are actually lost. You leave with a resilience blueprint that names your tolerances, tests your recovery and tells the board the truth.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Design a pci dss risk architecture that anticipates rather than documents.
- Build pci dss resilience: continuity, recovery and the capacity to absorb shocks.
- Price pci dss risk into strategy, capital and operating decisions.
- Report pci dss to the board in a way that informs decisions rather than reassures them.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Trader Who Offered to Win It Back
A star dealer at a port authority has concealed mounting pci dss losses through fictitious confirmations. The hole now threatens a quarter’s earnings; audit is close, and the dealer proposes a win-back plan.
Your decision: Decide exposure, escalation and sequence: what the board, the regulator and the market hear — and in what order.
IPAT Data Lab™
The pci dss incidents at a port authority are individually small and collectively serious — and no one has connected them.
Dataset: Synthetic multi-year incident, near-miss and control data for a port authority.
Your task: Build the heat map, test the tolerances, and write the 4 a.m. command card for the top exposure.
A pci dss heat map, impact tolerances and an incident command card.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
