Cardholder Data Discovery Made Simple
Search across multiple file types and locations

Card Recon detects card numbers from all the major payment card providers. You can see the full list here.
- Use anywhere, anytime — Card Recon is a portable credit card data discovery tool that can run without installation on multiple supported platforms.
- Detect all major credit card brands — Custom-built to meet PCI compliance, Card Recon’s out-of-the-box cardholder data detection capabilities scan for credit card numbers from the 10 major card brands and can identify 160+ combinations of primary account number (PAN) structures used around the world.
- Search all format types — Both Card Recon Server and Card Recon Desktop are highly effective at finding credit card information. Unlike many freeware products, Card Recon will report unsecured credit card information stored in a large number of different storage formats, including office documents, email clients and even zip files containing multiple layers.
