Paycorp is often asked to recommend PCI Compliance solutions for maintaining or becomming compliant to the PCI DSS or PCI PA-DSS standards. We have compiled a simple list of useful links which we believe are invaluable to becomming and staying compliant.
Scanning for stored payment card numbers
Paycorp uses Card Recon from Ground Labs. This is a PCI Compliance Software tool that offers the most accurate level of scanning and reporting on payment card storage. Paycorp uses this tool to ensure it has no storage of unencrypted payment card information on any of it's systems including employee desktops. It is also becoming essential undergo this process with the release of PCI DSS 2.0 and the impact that it has on the industry.
