CardIntel — AI-Powered Cardholder Data Discovery
Discover your entire cardholder data environment in 48 hours. Reduce PCI DSS scope by 10–30%. No manual inventory needed.
Manual Cardholder Data Discovery Is Broken
It Takes Weeks, Not Hours
Traditional cardholder data scoping relies on staff interviews, spreadsheet inventories, and manual network walks. 2–4 weeks minimum — and the clock is ticking on your compliance deadline.
Shadow Data Stores Get Missed
Manual processes depend on what people remember. Legacy databases, test environments, log files, and backup tapes holding cardholder data are routinely overlooked — until an assessor finds them.
Scope Creep Inflates Cost
When scoping is imprecise, everything stays in scope. You end up paying for a larger assessment than necessary. Every system in scope is a system that must be controlled, monitored, and tested.
The industry average before CardIntel. EIC does it in 48 hours.
What CardIntel Does
AI-driven capabilities purpose-built for PCI DSS assessment environments.
Automated Discovery
AI scans networks, databases, file systems, and cloud environments to find every location where cardholder data exists.
Shadow IT Detection
Finds cardholder data in unknown, undocumented, and legacy locations that manual scoping consistently misses.
Data Flow Mapping
Automatically visualises how card data enters, moves through, and exits your environment — in audit-ready format.
Scope Reduction
By precisely identifying where data lives and doesn't live, CardIntel reduces your PCI DSS assessment scope by 10–30%.
Audit-Ready Output
CardIntel generates reports that feed directly into EIC's ROC/AOC/SAQ workflow — no reformatting, no manual translation.
Continuous Monitoring
Run recurring scans to detect scope changes between annual assessments. Catch data drift before your next audit cycle.
From Deployment to Scope Report in 48 Hours
Three steps. No disruption to your operations. No agents to install on endpoints.
1. Deploy
CardIntel connects to your network via a lightweight sensor. No agent installation required. Minimal IT involvement.
2. Scan
AI scans your entire environment — databases, file shares, cloud, APIs, logs. Classifies and maps every cardholder data location.
3. Report
Receive a complete data flow map, scope boundary definition, and shadow data inventory. Output feeds directly into EIC's QSA workflow.
Built for QSA-Led Assessments
CardIntel isn't a standalone product — it's embedded in EIC's assessment methodology. Output feeds directly into your compliance workflow.

Services Powered by CardIntel
CardIntel is purpose-built for PCI DSS. It integrates exclusively into EIC's PCI DSS assessment workflow — from scoping through final attestation.
PCI DSS Compliance Assessment
CardIntel is embedded into every EIC PCI DSS engagement — ROC, AOC, and SAQ. Before a single assessment question is asked, CardIntel has already mapped your complete cardholder data environment, identified every system in scope, and produced a defensible scoping report your QSA signs off on.
