Digital Transactions: MasterCard Worldwide this week unveiled a global education effort about the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.

MasterCard's offerings include an "On-Demand Webinar Series," a group of eight pre-recorded content modules. Topics range from a detailed review of the standards to how to get ready for a PCI assessment. Acquirers, which are responsible for enforcing PCI in their merchant portfolios, may pick the sessions or modules best suited to their merchants.
