Certified Payment-Card Industry Security Manager (CPISM)
The rapid influx of regulation from all directions has created a need for professionals that understand both the business objectives of the industry at large as well the security and privacy issues facing the industry. To date, the marriage of these two skills has been difficult to evaluate. In order to address the need to identify professionals that understand both the industry as a whole as well as the pressing security issues the industry faces, the Society of Payment Security Professionals offers the Certified Payment-Card Industry Security Manager (CPISM).
The CPISM is directed towards those individuals involved in data security compliance projects in the Payments Industry. The material assessed is crucial for project managers, compliance and risk managers, as well as for more technical staff in the Payment Card Security Industry.
