Cipherion secures PANs, CVVs, and transaction metadata inside your infrastructure — enabling PCI compliance with field-level encryption, tokenization, and real-time audit logs.
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) applies to any business that stores, processes, or transmits credit card information. Whether you're a fintech startup, online store, or payment processor — non-compliance can result in hefty fines, audits, and breach liability.
PAN must be encrypted, truncated, tokenized, or hashed
Cipherion encrypts PANs and CVVs using polymorphic encryption and supports format-preserving tokenization
Keys must be stored securely and access controlled
Cipherion uses ephemeral, session-based keys generated at runtime — no static key storage
Limit access to only what’s required for business
Cipherion integrates with client-side logic to authorize access based on transaction context, not centralized roles
Log every access to CHD (Cardholder Data)
Built-in access logs capture user ID, transaction type, IP address, and timestamp — streamed to your logging system or SIEM
Secure card data in storage and transit
Cipherion encrypts data both in transit (API layer) and at rest (DB field-level), ensuring end-to-end security without re-architecting systems
Directly integrate encryption into your card input flows and store tokens instead of raw data — without changing your database schema.
Cipherion provides format-preserving tokenization (FPT) — allowing card number storage for logging, reconciliation, or analytics, without revealing true values.
Each time a PAN or CVV is accessed, the event is logged with metadata. Logs are immutable and audit-ready for PCI-DSS 10.2, 10.3, and 10.6 compliance.
Cipherion avoids long-term storage of encryption keys — using secure session-based key generation and disposal mechanisms.
