CIO Data Security Boot Camp

PCATS and the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) have partnered with Coalfire Systems, Inc., an information technology (IT) audit and compliance firm, to deliver an intensive educational boot camp, on January 19-20, that teaches about payment card industry (PCI) compliance requirements, including deadlines, merchant levels and reporting; including completing a self assessment questionnaire (SAQ). The PCI compliance report and audit scope will be reviewed, as well as a complete overview of the 12-step process to validate compliance.

The chief information officer (CIO) data security boot camp is part of the data security track, during the PCATS 2010 Annual Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. Data Security Boot Camp attendees may receive 12 full continuing professional education (CPE) credits for attending the 1-1/2 day boot camp.

The vendor-neutral data security boot camp is intended to empower CIOs within the c-store industry by reviewing the processes and practices currently in place to support the flow of information and providing them with the steps necessary to protect customer data and better support their enterprise goals. It will help merchants understand the compliance requirements accurately and get advice on various approaches they can take to achieve proper compliance.

The real cost of a data breach is more than most retailers think—and they’re more at risk than they know. Merchants that do not comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) may be subject to fines, card replacement costs, costly forensic audits, and brand damage should a breach event occur. The cost of guessing wrong about the meaning of any PCI requirement is high. This boot camp will help merchants understand the compliance requirements accurately and get advice on various approaches they can take to achieve compliance.

The discount registration fee for the CIO data security boot camp is $799 for PCATS members and $899 for non-members until January 8, 2010. It includes access to the PCATS Annual Conference and related events. The cost after January 8 will be $899 for members and $999 for non-members. Click Here to register for the boot camp.
