CVE CVE Technology and Innovation in Venue Management Questions and Answers 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which cybersecurity practice is MOST important for a venue that stores attendee payment data?
- Using the same password across all systems for simplicity
- Achieving and maintaining PCI DSS compliance (Correct answer)
- Storing card numbers in spreadsheets for easy access
- Disabling firewalls during peak event periods
Correct answer: Achieving and maintaining PCI DSS compliance
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance is the required framework for any organization handling credit card data.
Question 2: A venue executive wants to reduce paper-based processes. The FIRST step should be to:
- Immediately ban all printed documents
- Map existing workflows and identify digitization opportunities with the highest impact (Correct answer)
- Purchase tablets for every employee
- Hire a full-time IT director before analysis
Correct answer: Map existing workflows and identify digitization opportunities with the highest impact
Workflow mapping ensures digital transformation targets high-value processes rather than applying technology indiscriminately.
Question 3: Which technology solution best addresses long concession lines at a sports venue?
- Eliminating concession stands to reduce wait times
- Mobile ordering and contactless payment integration (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Mobile ordering and contactless payment integration
Mobile ordering with contactless payment reduces queue congestion by allowing fans to order ahead and pick up without waiting in traditional lines.
Question 4: What does a venue's Business Continuity Plan (BCP) address regarding technology systems?
- How to upgrade software during events
- Procedures to restore critical systems and data after a disruption or cyberattack (Correct answer)
- Social media posting schedules during emergencies
