Payment Card Information Data Security Standards (PCI DSS)
Protect cardholder data, reduce payment fraud risk and reinforce secure payment practices.
Train. Reinforce. Protect.
Traliant Learning Topics pair foundational, attorney-authored training with reinforcement content, including Micro Reels that keep key concepts fresh throughout the year. Always protected, not more time in training.
Secure payment data starts with employees
Every employee who handles payment cards plays a role in protecting customer information. A single mistake — from storing card data improperly to overlooking signs of payment terminal tampering — can expose organizations to fraud, fines and compliance risks.
Traliant's 15-minute Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) Awareness Learning Topic helps employees recognize cardholder data, follow secure payment practices, identify fraud risks and protect payment information.
Twenty role-based Micro Reels reinforce secure payment behaviors throughout the year, with separate learning tracks for frontline payment handlers and payment support, administration and operations staff.

What is a Learning Topic?
A Learning Topic is everything you need to cover one subject, like preventing harassment or keeping data safe. It’s more than a single course. It pairs attorney-authored training with reinforcement tools that keep the protection going after the course ends.
How does it work?
The full course meets your requirements, giving a documented, defensible record. Reinforcement tools keep that protection working between annual trainings. Pick your Learning Topic, roll it out, and it keeps working all year.
What’s in a Learning Topic?
Reinforcement tools vary by topic, so each Learning Topic includes the mix that fits its subject.
