Securing PCI and PII data is at the core of what we do at Protegrity. You can try out Protegrity’s capabilities today, through our API Playground. This section walks you through some sample scenarios of de-identifying PCI data, so that it is removed from your environment and only reversed once it leaves it. To run this example, you have to be signed up to the Protegrity API Playground.
