Fortifying Standards — Credit Card Security Training Available
The Postal Service™ is offering training on Payment Card Industry (PCI) data security standards for employees who handle credit card transactions (see article at https://liteblue.usps.gov/news/link/2013/05may/news02s3.htm).
The following required annual courses are available in the Learning Management System:
n PCI Protecting Payment Cardholder Data: Everyone’s Responsibility, course 10022027.
n PCI Protecting Payment Card Information: Back Office Training, course 10023203.
n PCI OWASP Top 10, course 10021914 (for developers only).
n PCI Administrator Security Awareness Training, course 10023202 (for database, system, and network administrators).
The PCI standards, which aim to protect customer credit card information, apply to organizations that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. The Postal Service processes more than 1 million card payment transactions per day.
Compliance with these standards improves the Postal Service’s ability to avoid credit data security breaches, strengthens its reputation as a safe merchant, and helps meet DRIVE business goals.
“Creating a safer PCI-compliant transactional environment builds customer trust, and trust means more business for the Postal Service,” said Jeffrey Merritt, program manager, Information Technology.
