CCSP - Data Retention Policies - Official Online Curriculum Update Request

Spirnia — Sun, 04 May 2025 13:00:26 GMT

I feel this section of the official online curriculum contains outdated information.

It is referencing PCI DSS 3.11. We are now on PCI DSS 4.0.1.

And the requirements have since changed regarding data retention between 3.11 and 4.0.1.

Therefore, may I please request that this section of the CCSP official online curriculum be updated to reflect the change?

The new requirements are under section 3.2 of PCI DSS 4.0.1 as shown in the second document image:

“Account data is retained only when necessary and for the least amount of time needed and is securely deleted or rendered unrecoverable when no longer needed.” … “To define appropriate retention requirements, an entity first needs to understand its own business needs as well as any legal or regulatory obligations that apply to its industry or to the type of data being retained.”

Thank you for your consideration.

PCI DSS 4.0.1

I wonder if there is a typo in the statement below.

Where it says conversely, should the word following it be the word ‘unstructured’ instead of ‘structured’?

It would seem that you are correct, one definition is incorrect. However, we here can do little except to escalate to the administrators, who can then forward internally.

@mariatirado Would be kind enough to forward to the course development folk?

Also, is there a way for folks to report potential errors to those folk???
