Hello and Welcome to the Treasury Institute’s PCI Blog!
We, the editors, would like to welcome you to what we believe to be the only PCI Blog dedicated to serving the unique requirements of Higher Education.
This forum is designed for both business and technical staff to ask questions, respond to posts, and get answers. At the Institute’s two PCI DSS Workshops, you asked for a place to keep informed about PCI developments and to have your voices heard by the PCI Council. This is the place.
NACUBO has joined the PCI Security Standards Council, and the editors of this blog are the representatives who will participate in Council deliberations. That means Education now has a voice that will be heard when the Security Standards and the compliance documents (like the Self Assessment Questionnaire) are changed. In partnership with NACUBO, the Treasury Institute has created this blog.
We plan for this blog to be two-way. We will post items regularly that we believe are of interest to the Education community. We also will communicate to you news and developments from the PCI Council. You will help us by making comments, and by asking and answering questions. Through this blog, we will share your questions and concerns, and we will communicate them back to the PCI Council.
The benefit to you is straight talk, practical answers, and a forum to collaborate on implementing PCI compliance with the least possible pain.
Anyone is welcome to post comments. We know that everyone will observe the courtesy and professionalism we all expect.
We expect to cover just about anything dealing with PCI compliance, audits, what you are working on, what resources you can use, vulnerability scans, testing, compensating controls, what’s keeping you awake at night... It’s a long list.
NACUBO, the Treasury Institute for Higher Education, and the editors are committed to making this blog a success. We can do it with your cooperation, your support, and most importantly your participation.
Your editors,
