Do you want to learn the latest developments resulting from the PCI Security Standards Council meeting in September?

The Treasury Institute is offering a unique opportunity to be among the first to learn about (and plan for) the latest developments in PCI DSS just weeks after the Security Standard Council's Community Meeting. In partnership with NACUBO (which joined the Council as a participating organization), the Treasury Institute will attend this meeting and report to attendees on expected changes to the DSS, supporting documentation, and compliance validation for 2008. Plan to join us at this special workshop.

Accepting credit and debit cards is a fact of life at campuses nationwide. Hand-in-hand with card acceptance is the responsibility to safeguard and protect all transaction and consumer data. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) was created to help ensure the safe handling of sensitive consumer payment information.

While PCI-DSS applies to every organization that accepts payment cards, many educational institutions have been slow to achieve campus-wide compliance. This is unfortunate since educational institutions are disproportionately vulnerable to hacking and other breaches of confidential consumer data. As a result, financial institutions and card issuers increasingly view educational institutions as risky merchants.

If you are a business, financial, or IT manager with responsibility for payment card processing and/or PCI-DSS compliance, you cannot afford to miss this 1-day workshop on November 13^th. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the standards and a checklist of actions to help their institution achieve and maintain compliance.

The Institute's May workshop attracted over 100 education professionals nationwide. The workshop featured detailed implementation case studies, energetic discussions, and information sharing between participants and speakers. Recognizing the need to remain current the PCI Council meets in September to review the Standards and other documents and the increasing emphasis on maintaining compliance, the Treasury Institute is sponsoring this one-day workshop in November.

Attendance is restricted to educational institutions. Space is limited, so register online today and make your plans to join us in Long Beach. Hotel reservations can be made online with The Renaissance Long Beach. For those requiring transportation from the Long Beach Airport, a taxi will cost approximately $17 each way.
