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.

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


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.

Strac provides technical controls that support these requirements. It does not by itself make an organization compliant; your auditors and counsel make that call.
55+ native integrations across SaaS, cloud, browser, endpoint and AI, all on the same engine.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Most teams connect their first integration in under 15 minutes. Paymentology and Payabli both use Strac.
