In the vibrant world of hospitality, personal data is the lifeblood of the industry. Guests place immense trust in hospitality organizations, sharing their sensitive details with the expectation of privacy and security.
However, this treasure trove of data makes the sector a prime target for cybercriminals.
For hospitality, data protection is about more than just compliance – it's about trust, and the customer loyalty that service excellence can provide.
A major leader in gaming and hospitality operating more than 50 properties across the United States and the Middle East was quickly growing into new locations. With so many different hotel and casino locations, the company manages a high volume of credit card data and other personally identifiable information (PII) from countless customers.
The company needed to protect against data breaches and ensure it was meeting payment card industry standards (PCI DSS), as well as other national and local laws and regulations.
Because this company handles such a high volume of credit card numbers and PII, the team knew it had a huge challenge ahead to find where all that data was being stored. It decided to partner with Ground Labs and now relies on Ground Labs’ award-winning Enterprise Recon software to meet and maintain compliance with PCI DSS and other privacy regulations.
TThe company uses Enterprise Recon PRO to find where credit card numbers are stored within both structured and unstructured data sources, including files, databases, emails, cloud, big data, and more. After scanning for credit card numbers and other data types, Enterprise Recon allows the team to view and analyze where sensitive data resides and immediately contact the owners to take action.
Before implementing Ground Labs’ solution, the company struggled with improper handling of sensitive data by its staff. Enterprise Recon has helped improve sensitive data storage across the board, reducing sensitive data incidents.
Ultimately, Enterprise Recon provides a blueprint of cardholder data and other PII storage locations across the organization, allowing the gaming and hospitality company to ensure on an ongoing basis that it is not storing any addresses or credit card, social security or passport numbers unnecessarily. Enterprise Recon enables the company to validate that it is storing its customer data securely and take action where necessary.
After beginning the scanning process with Ground Labs’ Enterprise Recon, the gaming and hospitality company identified millions of customer credit card numbers and other PII that were being stored in the wrong places. Enterprise Recon’s delegated remediation feature enabled the company to assign multiple teams to address the risk using Enterprise Recon so this massive undertaking didn’t fall solely on the shoulders of IT.
