Why this program matters

Without advanced PCI-DSS mastery, expose yourself to colossal fines: up to 100 000 € per month with Visa, or 500 000 € with Mastercard for non-compliance.
Remember Equifax 2017: 1.4 billion $ in losses from a cartographic breach.
80% of payment incidents stem from faulty scoping, leading to PAN leaks, furious customer class actions, and acquirer suspensions.
Your e-commerce revenue drops 40% without the PCI badge, competitors overtake you.
Invest 35h to avoid these disasters: compliance = preserved revenue, intact reputation, peaceful sleep facing intrusive audits.

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.

Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
Program co-written then validated by your team.

Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.
