Payment Card Information includes account numbers, CVVs, and other data that can be exploited immediately for the theft of funds. While payment methods can be easily disabled, giving this data a shorter life than PII or PHI, a lot of damage can be done quickly before protective measures are taken.
Regulations
The PCI DSS (Data Security Standard) was established by the payment card industry and is a gold standard for data protection in a highly transactional data industry. ALTR has adopted many of the industry’s strategies in its Data Security as a Service, applying them to all types of data, and is a PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider.
