SecurityMetrics PANscan is a tool designed to help businesses locate unencrypted payment card data residing on their networks, simplifying the process of achieving PCI compliance. A significant percentage of businesses store unencrypted Primary Account Numbers (PANs), creating liability and opportunities for hackers. PANscan operates with minimal system resource impact, making it easy to discover if sensitive payment card data is being stored insecurely. The software identifies primary account numbers and magnetic stripe track data on various devices, including computer systems, hard drives, and attached storage. By finding this data, organizations can then securely delete or encrypt it, and address the underlying processes that lead to its storage. Regular rescans ensure a maintained secure data environment. PANscan directly addresses PCI Data Security Standard Requirement 3, which mandates the securing of cardholder data, saving time and simplifying compliance validation. The tool offers various plan levels with features like immediate summary results, fast scanning speeds, reduced false positives, and support for Linux and Mac operating systems. It also provides integrated support, video tutorials, and 24/7 technical assistance to guide users through the discovery and remediation process.
