Card Data Discovery – PCI DSS Compliance
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance starts with knowing where your sensitive cardholder data resides. Hidden or forgotten card data can lead to costly breaches and compliance violations.
Card Data Discovery service helps organizations locate, classify, and protect sensitive payment card information (PAN, CVV, expiration dates) across their entire environment , on-premises, cloud, and endpoints ensuring full visibility and compliance.
Why Card Data Discovery is Critical
- Unknown Risk – Many businesses store card data unintentionally in logs, backups, emails, or spreadsheets.
- PCI DSS Requirement – PCI DSS mandates limiting data storage and securing all cardholder data.
- Data Breach Prevention – Reducing card data footprint minimizes exposure if a breach occurs.
