How Quasar Scan Works
Quasar Scan combines powerful scanning with automated and customisable filters, as well as clear data exports, to bring you real cardholder data enabling actionable remediation to take place. With extremely high precision, Quasar Scan finds and logs all of the locations where your credit card data is hiding, to identify areas of risk, reduce compliance scope, and support effective data management practices.
Define the Data
Quasar scans all of the data held in your business or organisation for any stored credit card data. With extremely high precision, Quasar Scan finds and logs all of the locations where you’re storing this ‘toxic waste’, and assesses their risk level. Being aware of where data is being stored helps you create sustainable compliance, and reduce experiencing a costly data breach.
Define the Scope
Many businesses and organisations find it difficult to identify and keep track of all the areas that handle or have handled cardholder data – especially with staff turnover and system/process changes. Quasar Scan helps you understand where you have cardholder data so that you can ring-fence the at-risk computers, and with the right controls, you can limit the scope of your assessment, saving you money and stressful disruption.
Perimeter Leak Checks
With regularly scheduled spot-checks, you can make sure that computers outside your set perimeter don’t have cardholder data. Quasar Scan will give you the added confidence that your PCI DSS scope is correctly identified and defined so that you can document it and reinforce that you are taking responsibility for doing your best to protect your organisation, customers, and stakeholders.
