CPISI is SISA’s flagship certification program, designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills required to implement technology controls that safeguard the payment ecosystem. Built on extensive forensic research and based on PCI DSS 4.0.1, the program goes beyond theory by translating standards into real-world practices. Participants benefit from live demonstrations of complex deployments, ensuring a clear understanding of how to apply the standard effectively. This certification is ANAB-accredited, placing SISA among less than 1% of certification bodies worldwide with such recognition. Over the past 13 years, CPISI has certified more than 13,000 cybersecurity professionals across 40 countries in the digital payments industry.
