Q&A With a QSA

ByChad

March is upon us and so is the looming PCI DSS 4.0 compliance deadline. In just a few short weeks, the previous PCI Data Security Standard (version 3.2.1) will be officially retired and a multitude of new requirements of PCI DSS 4.0 will need to be implemented. Do you have questions regarding the transition to PCI DSS v4.0? Get all your PCI compliance questions answered in this open forum discussion and get ahead of the curve.

I will be hosting a Q&A Session on the 14th @SecureWorld in Boston at 10:15 am. Come armed with your PCI questions, learn about the new requirements, and what specific steps to take now to prepare. #SWBOS24
