ControlCase Data Discovery

Finding credit card data is one of the key and initial steps needed for compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS). The standard clearly prohibits storage of card holder data in an unencrypted manner.

ControlCase Data Discovery (CDD) addresses this key need and was one of the first comprehensive scanners that not only searches for credit card data on file systems, but also in most commercial and open source databases.

CDD very rapidly helps define the scope of a PCI assessment or certification and helps concentrate the efforts of the assessment. It usually is an eye-opener for many organizations who are surprised by the unintended proliferation of credit card data within organizations once CDD scans their environment. That discovery helps organizations control the storage of the data or implement means to encrypt the data.
