Strac for Financial Services & Fintech

Keep card data and customer PII out of places it shouldn't be.

Payment, lending and banking teams handle card numbers, bank accounts and identity documents every day, and copies end up in Slack, support tickets, spreadsheets, logs and AI tools. Strac finds that data across your stack and redacts, masks or blocks it automatically, shrinking PCI scope and giving auditors the evidence they ask for.

The challenge

Sensitive financial data leaks through everyday work.

Card data escapes the CDE

Customers paste card numbers into chat and support tickets, engineers paste them into Jira and logs. Every system that stores a PAN pulls itself into PCI scope.

Regulators expect more, faster

PCI DSS v4.0.1, the FTC Safeguards Rule, NYDFS Part 500 and the amended Regulation S-P all raise the bar on data inventory, access control and breach notification.

Identity data is everywhere

KYC documents, bank statements and driver's licenses get emailed, uploaded and shared. Many arrive as images or scans that keyword tools can't read.

Alerts aren't remediation

Legacy DLP produces thousands of alerts with no fix. Lean security teams need tools that remove the data, not just report it.

Redact sensitive data in chat and support tickets

Customers paste card numbers into support chats and agents forward them to Slack to resolve disputes. Strac masks PANs, account numbers and IDs in real time, which keeps those tools out of PCI scope.

  • In-house OCR catches data inside images, scans and PDFs

Use AI without leaking sensitive data

Analysts and support agents use AI to draft replies and dig through disputes. Strac removes card numbers, bank accounts and SSNs from prompts and blocks exports full of cardholder data from being uploaded.

  • Browser extension for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and any web app
  • Redact, warn or block before prompts and uploads are sent
  • Endpoint agent covers desktop apps, USB and personal cloud on Mac, Windows and Linux
Strac sits between AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot and business apps like Slack, Salesforce, Google Drive and GitHub

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does Strac help reduce PCI DSS scope?

Strac finds card numbers that end up outside your cardholder data environment, such as in support tickets, chat, email and drives, and redacts or masks them automatically. Fewer systems storing PANs means fewer systems in scope, and Strac's logs support the annual scope confirmation PCI DSS v4.0.1 requires.

Can Strac read card numbers in images and PDFs?

Yes. Strac's in-house OCR models extract text from scanned statements, screenshots and photos of cards or IDs, then run the same classifiers used for text.

Does Strac help with GLBA and NYDFS Part 500?

Strac supplies technical controls both rules ask for: an inventory of where customer financial information lives, access visibility, monitoring and automated remediation. It supports your program; your auditors and counsel decide compliance.

Will redaction break our support workflows?

No. Strac redacts only the sensitive values, leaving the rest of the ticket or message intact, and agents keep working in the same tools. You choose per policy whether to redact, mask, block or alert.

How quickly can we get started?

Most teams connect their first integration in under 15 minutes. Paymentology and Payabli both use Strac.
