Voltage Fusion discovers large volumes of sensitive data and enables organization to prepare for PCI accreditation.

The challenge was to assess a vast and varied IT landscape to identify sensitive data and prepare for PCI DSS Merchant Level 1 accreditation.

There are clear rules around the management of sensitive data, set out by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) regulation. This is split into different levels, based on the volume of card transactions. When this department’s transaction volume exceeded six million per year, they were required to move from level 2 to level 1.

The organization turned to our trusted OpenText Cybersecurity MSSP, WyldLynx. Carl Duncan, General Manager at WyldLynx, comments: “We recommended Voltage Fusion, designed to identify all sensitive data across a variety of repositories. This discovery solution provides visibility over vast data estates, across many data silos. Our client’s team was a fan of Content Manager and trusted Micro Focus (now OpenText) solutions. Voltage Fusion is underpinned by AI-driven OpenText IDOL, which is well-known in the globally for its proven track record in data discovery. The client was confident that Voltage Fusion, coupled with our implementation expertise, could support the data discovery process.”

WyldLynx prepared a cyber security risk assessment report for the client, which was instrumental in this project moving from just a finance-focused exercise to support PCI compliance, to a much wider ongoing data discovery initiative.
