Choose the right perspective
Match the company type to yours, since security at a card processor, a consumer wallet and a B2B payments platform involves different threats, regulators and scale. Consider the path each person took to the role, such as security operations, governance and compliance, or engineering, and pick the one closest to your problem.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you structure PCI DSS compliance so it supports, rather than replaces, a real security program?
- 02Which fraud and account takeover threats worry you most today, and how do security and fraud teams split responsibility for them?
- 03How do you assess the security of the banks, processors and other partners your payment flows depend on?
