Beyond the PCI Compliance Checklist:

Building Stronger Payment Security

  • CampusGuard Speakers:
  • Kyle Smith, CISA, CISSP, QSA, Security Advisor
  • Allison Zwaschka, PCIP, Customer Relationship Manager

  • Meeting PCI DSS requirements is an important first step, but passing an audit doesn’t guarantee your campus payment systems are truly secure. In this webinar, we’ll explore the gaps that often exist beyond the Cardholder Data Environment (CDE), including third-party vendors, rogue scripts, shadow IT, and operational blind spots. Attendees will learn practical strategies to move beyond compliance checklists and build a robust, year-round payment security program that protects students, staff, and institutional data. Key Takeaways
  • Understanding the Limits of Compliance: Why passing PCI doesn’t automatically mean your payments are safe.
  • Identifying Hidden Risks: How third parties, scripts, and operational blind spots can undermine security.
  • Building a Campus-Wide Approach: Strategies to extend PCI best practices beyond the CDE.
  • Operationalizing Security: Practical ways to embed payment security into day-to-day processes.
  • Continuous Improvement: How to maintain compliance and security year-round, not just at audit time.
