PANScout
Define what to check.
Select the locations relevant to the assessment question, from individual files to complete folders.
PCI DSS ASSESSMENT READINESS
Go into your PCI assessment knowing where card data lives.
Whether an assessment is approaching or a QSA has raised a stored-card-data concern, PANScout helps your team inspect selected systems and file locations, review possible card data and retain evidence for the decisions that follow.

A BOUNDED DISCOVERY EXERCISE
Move from uncertainty to a documented discovery result.
You choose the systems, folders and files to inspect. PANScout keeps the selected coverage, findings and review context together from the first scan through evidence export.
Find unexpected stored card data.
Inspect structured files, documents, images, scanned PDFs and archives through one local workflow.
Record what the result means.
Review masked findings, distinguish recognised test numbers and add outcomes or follow-up notes.
Preserve the decision trail.
Export a self-contained HTML report or versioned JSON record for scope, retention and remediation work.
ASSESSOR-READY CONTEXT
Show what was checked, what was found and what needs attention.
A useful discovery result accounts for coverage and limitations as well as findings. PANScout keeps those facts together so the evidence can support a focused assessor conversation.
- Selected coverage
- The systems, folders and files your team chose to inspect.
- File outcomes
- A recorded result for every selected file, including content that was not fully inspected.
- Masked findings
- Potential card data without creating another persisted store of complete card numbers.
- Review decisions
- Outcomes and annotations that stay with the finding and carry into the report.
FIT THE PAYMENT ENVIRONMENT
Bring the scanner to the environment without opening a new network route.
PANScout is designed for local operation in sensitive and isolated environments. Source files, extracted content and findings are not sent to PANScout or a remote scanning service.
Start, activate and scan locally.
The trial and paid licence can be activated without internet access, and scanning does not depend on a remote service.
Keep complete card numbers out of saved results.
Full card numbers are processed in memory during scanning; persisted findings and reports retain them only in masked form.
Account for what the scanner executes.
Document and OCR components are built in, with no separately installed scanning tools or general-purpose command interface.
