ControlCase announces no risk offer to hotels to scan for unprotected credit card data for PCI DSS

Jan. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- McLean, VA - ControlCase announced today of the launch of a program for hotels wherein ControlCase Data Discovery is available to search for cardholder data in violation of PCI DSS requirements. This represents the first enterprise-wide, scalable card data discovery solution to assist hotels to identify and remove unencrypted PAN, card track data and other restricted authentication information.  

“We believe that hotels, retailers and hospitals face a greater challenge than most other industries due to their decentralized and diverse processing environments, systemic gaps with existing point of sale and processing technologies, and increased financial pressures associated with the current economic conditions” says Hugh Kominars, VP of Markets.   For a yearly fixed fee, hotels can now download and license the ControlCase Data Discovery Scanner to scan for unencrypted PAN and other restricted authentication information (Track Data, CVV, CV2, etc) to eliminate the risk of data loss and exposure and PCI DSS non-compliance.  ControlCase will refund the full licensing fee, in the event that unencrypted PAN or other restricted data is not detected within the organizations’ environments.   This represents a no-cost no-exposure proposition and our commitment to help our clients to reduce the risk of identity theft and financial fraud.

Since 2007, ControlCase has integrated card data discovery within its PCI DSS certification methodology to reduce the risk of a data breaches and non-compliance with PCI DSS.  The ControlCase Data Discovery (CDD) scanner, version 5.0 has been specifically optimized to scan high risk file types, structures and databases and has been field tested on hundreds of PCI certification engagements.
