What action cannot the PCI SSC take against a PCIP who violates the PCI SSC Code of Professional Responsibility?

The action of revoking the PCIP qualification is incorrect in this context because the PCI SSC (Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council) typically does not have the authority to permanently remove an individual's PCIP (Payment Card Industry Professional) qualification for violations of the PCI SSC Code of Professional Responsibility. Instead, they may take different measures to ensure compliance and encourage adherence to the code, such as issuing warnings or increasing training requirements.

The intent behind the PCIP program is to promote a standard level of knowledge and practice related to payment security, and while violations can lead to corrective actions, a complete revocation is not a standard procedure. The focus is on maintaining professional standards and fostering improvement rather than outright punishment. Thus, while the PCI SSC can enforce guidelines and provide further education, they tend to prefer avenues that support compliance and professional development rather than permanent sanctions.
