CPISI – Certified Payment Industry Security Implementer
Adopt a forensics-driven learning approach for better data security and compliance
Being a pioneer in payment security excellence, SISA has curated CPISI, a Certified Payment Industry Security Implementer workshop, to scale with the data security standards and incorporate learnings from data breaches as PCI Forensic Investigator for more than a decade.
CPISI is a comprehensive program designed to impart knowledge on the policies and procedures of PCI implementation.
The 2-day workshop helps to bridge the gap in the awareness of organizations towards implementing effective PCI security controls and ease the PCI DSS compliance journey.
Undergoing Certified Payment Industry Security Implementer workshop plays a crucial role in upholding better data security. The PCI training helps every Information Security stakeholder in proactive PCI implementation across functions and act against threats in advance that may occur at any point in time.
Training Highlights
We help you ensure a robust security posture
In today’s evolving payments landscape, most of the organizations are failing to maintain their security compliance due to poorly trained or untrained employees for securing the critical data.
As per SISA's 2020report
From the recent PFI investigations, SISA has observed 38% of the organizations were compliant at the time of the breach. On further analysis, we found two root causes for most of the data breach.
We help you make security a priority
44.1% of the respondents, from the breached organization, agreed that the poorly trained or untrained employees as the major cause while 18.56% of the respondents agreed that the lack of technical safeguards and the security processes as a core reason.

Had a fantastic experience while attended the sessions and all the things were covered. Before attending the training I was not having any idea of PCI DSS. After completing this session got the amazing confidence in this domain so I would recommend anyone if you are looking something that can help with PCI CPISI knowledge just go for it without any doubt.

The CPISI - Payment Data Security Implementation Online Workshop was a fantastic experience to learn about PCI DSS compliance. I learned a lot of useful information and could definitely apply what I learned here to help my organization be more compliant with the new PCI DSS 4.0 requirments. This was a really excellent training I would recommend to everyone who wants to know specific information about the requirements for PCI compliance.

The workshop educates on PCI DSS implementation policies, reducing data breach, risk, maintaining compliance status for the organization, etc. by using real-world examples and case studies from SISA’s PCI forensic investigations. Experienced trainers deliver the instruction, ensuring quality and confidence in the quality of the learning experience. I have gained more knowledge from the workshop, which is helpful and fulfills my current job performance at APD Bank.
Vanna Mam
SW Engineer II, APD Bank
SISA’s CPISI-Payment Data Security Implementation Live Online Workshop wasn’t just informative, it was actionable. The instructors, veterans of both PCI compliance and real-world breach investigations, didn’t just explain the standards, they showed us how to implement them effectively in our own environments. The blend of lectures, case studies, and interactive exercises kept me engaged and learning throughout the two days. I especially appreciated the focus on understanding the “why” behind the controls, not just the “what.” This deeper knowledge has already helped me make smarter security decisions back at my company. If you’re serious about securing your payment data and achieving PCI compliance, skip the generic webinars and sign up for this workshop. It’s an investment that will pay off in stronger defenses and peace of mind.
