PCI DSS Security Awareness training is required to comply with Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Protection Standard (DSS) Requirement 12.6: PCI DSS Security Awareness training necessary for PCI compliance is:
- New Hire Initial training for Newly Hired GT employees & Student Workers with access to cardholder data (CHD).
- Required Annually to make sure GT Employees & Student Workers understand their obligations to protect cardholder data.
Since Student Workers are hired Seasonally, any newly hired Student Workers who have not completed the PCI DSS Required Training during an academic calendar period* should be enrolled when hired.
*Academic Calendar period – To keep an academic year simple we will use August 15th of one year through August 14th of the next year (e.g. 8/15/2023 thru 8/14/2024). This allows Student workers who are hired for the Fall Semester to not have to take the PCI-DSS Required Training yet again in the Spring Semester of the same academic calendar year. Their PCI-DSS Annual Training would be good from August 15 through August 14 of the next year.
