PCI DSS, payment card industry, and Data Security

Many of us are working within our institutions to achieve Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance. We see a number of merchants on campuses with different business needs, systems, and vendor relationships in place. In many cases, achieving compliance with PCI DSS, the Data Security Standard, is proving difficult. In this free Sept. 5 EDUCAUSE Live! Web seminar, Lessons Learned on the Road to PCI Compliance, Mark Welch, project coordinator for the Credit Card Support Program at University of Notre Dame, and Walt Conway, president of Walter Conway Associates, LLC, will share experiences and valuable lessons learned in implementing PCI DSS, including merchant levels (does it matter?), limiting the scope of the PCI effort (yes, it can be done), the Payment Applications Best Practices list (is it required?), and recent findings on information security breaches.
