PANfinder: PAN Discovery Software
PANfinder™ is our comprehensive, yet inexpensive data discovery software solution. It searches systems for hidden and unmasked/unencrypted payment card data.
As stated in the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) V2.0, companies must "identify and document the existence of all cardholder data in their environment, to verify that no cardholder data exists outside of the currently defined cardholder data environment (CDE)." There are two ways to sweep your system looking for hidden PANs. The first is by manually checking every file, which is clearly not viable. The second is to use PANfinder, which automatically searches your servers, workstations and laptops looking for PAN data and produces clear, PCI compliant reports on its findings.
