Case Study: American Tire Distributors achieves PCI-DSS compliance readiness with Spirion

National tire supplier prepares for compliance deadline with Spirion-First approach

American Tire Distributors (ATD), a major independent tire supplier, faced a critical challenge as it prepared for a PCI-DSS audit with only two months to find and remediate all stored consumer credit card data across its vast IT environment. The company had to scan over 70 terabytes of data across thousands of endpoints but had limited success with other methods. To overcome this, they turned to the data security vendor Spirion for a solution.

The company implemented Spirion's data discovery and classification technology to rapidly automate scans across its entire data-at-rest inventory, including servers, databases, and cloud storage. With Spirion, ATD successfully scanned its 70 terabytes of data within the eight-week deadline, achieving PCI-DSS compliance and avoiding steep penalties. The solution also provided a foundation for the company to mature its overall data security posture for future regulations. Spirion's support and configurable platform were cited as key factors in this successful outcome.
