PCI-DSS is Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, one of the fastest growing compliance currently affecting banks, payment service providers and merchants all over the world. The PCI-DSS is basically a contractual obligation for those dealing with payment cards (credit and debit) issued by MasterCard, Visa, Amex, Discover and JCB. It does not matter if you are a large bank with thousands of merchants, an intermediate service provider for payment or a small merchant. You will be affected. Even payment application developers or data centres hosting payment applications must take this
compliance into account.

This PCI-DSS training course is designed to offer companies the depth of knowledge necessary to make informed decisions regarding their compliance efforts. The participants will leave with a strong understanding of the intent behind each requirement and how to apply them to their business environment.

Personal Data Protection Act (“PDPA”) is an Act that was enforced in 2013. It regulates the processing of personal data in regards to commercial transaction. PDPA governs any business entities that collect, store, process or transmit personal data internally and externally. This means that almost every business entity will be affected by this Act.

This PDPA training course is designed to give the organization the awareness on how to assess their implementation of PDPA in their organization based on General Acceptance Privacy Principles (GAPP) from AICPA and other related standards. This is a systems and technical assessment, not a legal assessment. Included in the topics would be the specification for a personal information management system under the BS10012 standard and the effort of implementation. The participants will leave with an understanding on not just the seven main principles of PDPA, but also on how to assess the maturity of their organization towards the PDPA.
