Start scanning devices on your network for unencrypted payment cards
A recent SecurityMetrics study found that 88% of businesses store unencrypted Primary Account Numbers (PANs) on their network. Storing unencrypted information creates liability for you and less work for hackers. Fortunately, SecurityMetrics PANscan runs light on your systems and makes it easy to find out if your organization is storing unencrypted payment card data.
SecurityMetrics PANscan locates unencrypted payment card data on your devices so that you can securely delete or encrypt it. PANscan identifies primary account numbers and magnetic stripe track data on computer systems, hard drives, and attached storage devices.
PANscan software or services provided by SecurityMetrics may be protected by any or all of the following patents and other pending applications:
Once you have identified the unencrypted payment card data on your devices, you can securely delete or encrypt it. Then patch systems or processes that cause you to store this data. You can also rescan as many times as you would like to ensure that your organization is maintaining a secure data environment. Running PANscan gives your organization the confidence you’re properly handling card data and not inadvertently storing unencrypted payment data.
Complying with each PCI requirement can be time-consuming and complicated. Requirement 3 of the PCI Data Security Standard requires that organizations secure cardholder data. Using PANscan saves you time and simplifies the process of identifying and securing unencrypted card data so you can confidently validate compliance.
