Case Study: Financial Services Leader achieves PCI compliance and secure data-driven innovation with PKWARE

Financial Services Leader - Customer Case Study

Financial Services Leader, a large data-driven banking organization moving workloads to Hadoop and Amazon Web Services, faced uncontrolled sensitive data (PII, PHI, PCI) scattered across on‑premises and cloud repositories and accessed by thousands of users. To avoid crippling data access while meeting strict PCI requirements, the company engaged PKWARE for data discovery and protection.

PKWARE deployed automated, continuous discovery across Hadoop, Amazon S3, Amazon EMR, Amazon Redshift, Amazon RDS and on‑prem repositories, tokenizing detected PCI data in real time and alerting data owners. As a result, PKWARE enabled unconstrained analytics and cloud adoption while ensuring PCI compliance, substantially reducing the risk and potential impact of a breach and allowing the Financial Services Leader to safely leverage customer data for greater business value.
