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.

For more information about PCI DSS, kindly check PCI SSC’s website at https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org.

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.

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.

The learning session significantly strengthened my understanding of application security from a QA perspective, especially in mapping OWASP Top 10 risks to real testing scenarios. The trainer’s use of practical case studies helped translate vulnerabilities into actionable test cases, negative scenarios, and security validations. A key differentiator was the emphasis on design level and business logic flaws, which are often missed during functional testing. This session enhanced my competency in security focused test design, requirement analysis, and defect identification, enabling me to proactively identify and report security risks early in the QA lifecycle.

This meeting gave us the exposure to learn the security related risks in software development and how to overcome by using various techniques. Trainer skills are good, but I thought 16 hours is insufficient to cover all the topics, so I thought the trainer was rushing it.

The PCI DSS training improved my understanding of PCI DSS v4.0 and practical compliance. Real-world case studies and the trainer’s expertise were key highlights. This learning will directly support secure payment data handling and compliance in my role.

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.
