The PCI Security Standards Council has created The Prioritized Approach to help merchants and other organizations (including nonprofits) through their PCI DSS compliancy process. This web seminar will introduce the Prioritized Approach and how to put it to use. The Excel tool groups together the requirements of PCI DSS 1.2 into six key milestones to consider in their card data security strategy. The Prioritized Approach offers guidance on how to focus PCI DSS implementation efforts in a way that expedites the security of cardholder data. It also:
