CPISI-D
Certified Payment Industry Security Implementer – Developer
What is the CPISI-D Training Program?
With the increase in the demand for digital transactions, application developers are innovating payment features continually. In today’s digital evolution, a simple error in software code can create a vulnerability that can result in a data breach. This brings up the need to incorporate resilient secure application development practices right from the first line of the application.
About CPISI-D
CPISI-D is a Secure Application Development Training workshop aimed at developers and architects to build secure applications. The workshop combines industry-leading application security frameworks—including OWASP and payment security standards like PCI-SSF—to train developers and architects on embedding security across the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
Why CPISI-D?
Secure Application Development Training can ensure that security controls are established at every stage of the Software Development Life Cycle and helps to secure payment applications from possible vulnerabilities and remove any redundant codes and functionality.
Who can participate?
The intended audience for this workshop is application developers, architects, application testing teams, and the payment application security enthusiasts with the zeal of learning payment security concepts.

Please Note: Certified Payment-Card Industry Security Implementer (CPISI) is an independent payments industry certification offered by SISA for payment security professionals, relating to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
The PCI DSS is managed and developed by the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), who provides its own PCI DSS training and certification programs. SISA is not affiliated with or endorsed by PCI SSC.

FAQs
The Certified Payment Industry Security Implementer – Developer (CPISI-D) is a specialized certification. It equips software engineers with the secure coding knowledge required to build robust payment applications that align with PCI software standards and OWASP best practices.
This certification is vital for FinTech, software vendors, and e-commerce platforms. Fundamentally, any industry doing custom application development that processes, transmits, or stores credit card data needs CPISI-D developers to prevent software vulnerabilities.
The program focuses heavily on secure software lifecycles, threat modeling, input validation, secure authentication, and mitigating critical vulnerabilities like SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and broken access controls.
The curriculum deeply integrates the OWASP Top 10 framework, teaching developers not only how to recognize the most dangerous and prevalent web application security risks but how to write specific code to permanently neutralize them.
Yes, the training bridges the gap between raw coding practices and strict compliance mandates. It teaches developers how to architect software that will successfully pass the rigorous assessments required by the PCI Software Security Framework (SSF).
PCI DSS Requirement 6 strictly mandates that all developers receive annual training in secure coding techniques. The CPISI-D certification satisfies this compliance requirement while tangibly reducing the organization's risk of a data breach.
Identifying and fixing a security vulnerability after an application is deployed is incredibly expensive. CPISI-D teaches developers to build security directly into the code from day one, drastically reducing costly post-production remediation and patching.
The certification requires passing a rigorous examination that tests the developer's understanding of secure coding principles, threat mitigation strategies, and payment application compliance requirements based on the workshop curriculum.
