Instructor is very knowledgeable and passionate about the topic. There is a lot of information subject of the course and the instructor is very knowledgeable. Topics are highly technical and the instructor provided explanations for better understanding of the group particularly those not from IT.
Peggy Salazar
Manager, Data Protection, Philippine Airlines
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.

Information Security Engineer II, NCR Voyix
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.
Jacob Young
SW Engineer II, NCR Voyix
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.

FAQs
The CPISI Advanced credential is an elite training program for seasoned security professionals. It moves beyond standard PCI DSS implementation to cover complex payment architectures, forensic breach analysis, and advanced compliance frameworks like PCI PIN and P2PE.
This is specifically targeted at acquiring banks, Key Injection Facilities (KIFs), and major payment processors. Ultimately, any industry doing complex cryptography, hardware payment routing, or ATM management requires this advanced level of security expertise.
While standard CPISI focuses on general PCI DSS compliance and network security, CPISI Advanced dives deeply into highly specialized topics, including cryptographic key management, Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE), and the PCI Software Security Framework (SSF).
Yes, a core component of the advanced curriculum is forensic readiness. It teaches professionals how to analyze advanced threat vectors, reconstruct attack paths following a breach, and build highly resilient payment architectures that withstand sophisticated attacks.
Because of the highly technical nature of the curriculum, participants are generally expected to already hold the foundational CPISI certification or possess substantial, provable experience in advanced payment security engineering and compliance auditing.
Yes, CPISI Advanced extensively covers the PCI PIN security standard. Participants learn the strict dual-control, split-knowledge procedures required to generate, convey, and inject cryptographic keys securely within Key Injection Facilities.
It equips CISOs and senior security architects with the deep technical and regulatory knowledge required to confidently design advanced payment ecosystems, navigate complex multi-standard compliance audits, and defend against sophisticated financial cybercrime.
These elite workshops are led exclusively by SISA’s most experienced global security consultants, Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs), and seasoned Payment Forensic Investigators (PFIs) who handle massive, real-world banking breaches.
