The Payment Card Security Workforce Proficiency (CPCSWP) course gives workforce level professionals a solid understanding of best practices to protect payment card information and avoid data theft and breach activity. Payment card security is particularly important in healthcare because healthcare organizations often handle sensitive patient information alongside credit card details, making them a prime target for cybercriminals; protecting this data is essential for patient privacy, maintaining trust, complying with regulations like PCI DSS, and preventing financial losses from data breaches and fraud.

At the completion of this course, the learner should be able to:

• Describe the basic requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
• Prevent breaches and identity theft by using best practices for protecting card data
• Describe lessons learned from large credit card data breaches
• Identify data fields and features on payment cards with correct terminology
• Demonstrate understanding of how credit card transactions are processed and verified
• Implement best practices for computer security, including password compliance and control of phishing scams and other malware attacks
• Describe encryption requirements for transmitting card data
