Protect Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

Since 1981, Prime Factors encryption software has helped companies around the world protect Personal Identifiable Information (PII) data. Whether you need to protect data in motion or data at rest, Prime Factors offers extremely flexible encryption solutions that let you choose how best to encrypt data without disrupting your operations.

Major data breaches have become national headlines over the past several years exposing PII data such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, drivers license information, medical information and many other types of sensitive data. The severity of these breaches has allowed hundreds of millions of records to become available for criminal use.

Damages from these breaches are still being realized but already laws and regulatory guidelines have been expanded to cover more and more PII data. Examples include the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS or PCI), HITECH, Sarbanes Oxley Act, Massachusetts Data Protection Law (201 CMR 17), Nevada Electronic Transmission Encryption Law (NRS 597.970) and the U.S. Data Security Breach Notification Laws.

Encrypting PII data makes good business sense and assures your customers that you have their best interests in mind. Over the years, Prime Factors has provided our customers with encryption solutions such as the Psypher Security Suite and EncryptRIGHT to protect PII data at rest and in motion. Examples of PII data include:

  • Full name
  • Personal identification numbers such as:
    • Social security numbers (SSN)
    • Passport number
    • Drivers license number
    • Taxpayer identification number
  • Financial Data
    • Financial account numbers
    • Credit card numbers (PANs)
    • PINs
  • Medical Records
  • Intellectual Property (IP)
  • Digital Identity
