Case Study: Fortune 250 Financial Group achieves automated sensitive-data discovery and streamlined PCI DSS compliance across AWS and databases with PKWARE's PK Protect

Fortune 250 Financial Group - Customer Case Study

Fortune 250 Financial Group, which operates multiple insurance and investment businesses through subsidiaries, needed to scan for sensitive data across Development and Production environments — including AWS sources — to support a new cloud‑first strategy and meet PCI DSS classification requirements across Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 LUW, MySQL, Informix, and Sybase. The organization engaged PKWARE and deployed PK Protect to discover and classify sensitive repositories.

PKWARE implemented PK Protect starting with discovery and then added monitoring and masking for Oracle and SQL Server, while also creating a report that feeds a Postgres repository and consolidates all database scans into a single spreadsheet for oversight. PKWARE’s approach reduced the burden of creating and running manual jobs and connections, enabled incremental scanning of AWS sources, improved visibility for compliance, and set the stage for planned expansion to Informix, MongoDB, Cassandra, flat‑file masking, and standardized reporting.
