The CSO Executive Seminar Series on PCI Compliance

January 17, 2008
The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites
Los Angeles, CA

We all know the PCI (Payment Card Industry) standard is an industry guideline, but make no mistake about it—every organization that takes payment cards is subject to its requirements. The only question is, to what degree? There are significant penalties for violating the terms of PCI and while some just result in modest fines, major violations can result in your business losing the ability to process credit card transaction—which could severely impact your business. If you are responsible for your organization's PCI or privacy initiatives you don't want to miss this seminar.
