PCI DSS User Group Meeting

Thursday, 25 March 2010 - Montague Hotel, London
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Information security expert Gary Palgon will discuss how organizations can use a new data security model - tokenisation - to reduce scope for PCI DSS audits and lower the risk of a data breach at the PCI DSS User Group Meeting on 25 March 2010.
























Title How to Reduce the Scope of PCI DSS by Tokenising Payment Card Data
 
OverviewMerchants who accept payment cards are challenged with complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Because all systems that accept or use payment cards are considered “in scope” for PCI compliance, there are very few ways to achieve cost savings as part of the process while, at the same time, pass its stringent requirements. This session will present the concept and use of a new data security model, tokenisation, which substitutes “data surrogates” for card numbers in systems throughout the enterprise, thus reducing scope for PCI DSS compliance and annual audits as well as lowering the risk of a data breach.
 
This session will cover:
 
1.) What is tokenisation and how does it work?
2.) What are the different tokenisation models?
3.) Use case for using tokenisation to reduce PCI DSS audit scope
4.) Key considerations for tokenisation implementation
5.) PII considerations when applying tokenisation to PCI compliance

About the PCI DSS User Group
The PCI DSS User Group was formed back in 2005 for merchants and retailers to come together and talk about the issues surrounding the Payment Card Industry’s Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). The aim is for merchants to be able to share experiences with fellow professionals, and to learn from the different businesses and sectors that attend the meeting. Guest speakers are regularly in attendance, and include acquiring banks as well as representatives from Visa and MasterCard. This gives merchants the opportunity to hear the latest developments in PCI and to ask questions regarding their specific situations. The PCI DSS User Group is chaired by ProCheckUp, and meets every 6-8 weeks in central London.
