DataStealth is built security-first. Learn how PCI DSS Level 1 compliance and our path to SOC 2 Type II protect sensitive data everywhere it moves.
Security is not an add-on at DataStealth – it is the product.
Our platform is purpose-built to secure sensitive data anywhere it moves: across networks, applications, mainframes, APIs, cloud workloads, and legacy environments. That core mission demands a security posture that goes beyond operational checklists or compliance milestones.
From day one, DataStealth has maintained a security-first culture: strict internal standards, continuous monitoring, rigorous testing, and a design philosophy that removes risk rather than manages around it. As we continue to scale, that focus has not changed; we build trust through security, transparency, and accountability.
DataStealth is a PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider, the highest level of assessment within the PCI standard.
While PCI DSS is designed to protect cardholder data, the controls required to achieve and maintain this certification strengthen our environment for all sensitive data, not just payment information. PCI DSS enforces some of the strictest security expectations in the industry.
Encryption and tokenization require that all sensitive data be protected both in transit and at rest. DataStealth's agentless, network-layer architecture enforces encryption, tokenization, and masking in real time without modifying applications or code.
Access control and least privilege mandate tight governance over who can access systems, data, and administrative interfaces. This aligns with DataStealth's operational model: identity-driven access, strict MFA, and structured onboarding and offboarding workflows.
Continuous monitoring and logging ensure that every access event and change is tracked and auditable. DataStealth's internal controls and security procedures provide real-time visibility and traceability across environments.
Regular penetration testing and vulnerability management require ongoing independent validation. Third-party penetration tests validate our infrastructure's resilience, while structured vulnerability management ensures timely remediation.
This foundation gives our customers confidence that DataStealth's security posture is enforced continuously, audited regularly, and aligned to a globally recognized standard.
PCI DSS is centered on securing cardholder data. SOC 2 examines broader organizational controls across the AICPA Trust Services Criteria. DataStealth is pursuing attestation across three criteria: Security, Availability, and Confidentiality.
Achieving SOC 2 Type II will provide independent validation of the controls we already operate.
Because transparency builds trust.
Our customers rely on DataStealth to secure their most sensitive data flows, often across some of the most complex and regulated environments worldwide. Moreover, SOC 2 Type II provides clear documentation of our internal security, operational, and monitoring controls.
It offers independent validation over an extended observation period rather than a point-in-time snapshot. And it gives customers increased visibility into how DataStealth protects data across hybrid, cloud, on-premise, and legacy environments.
PCI DSS has already laid much of the groundwork. However, SOC 2 extends that same rigour across a wider set of controls, demonstrating the maturity and consistency of DataStealth's security posture across the entire organization.
At DataStealth, we do not wait for audits to become secure. We pursue audits because we are secure and because independent validation matters.
Our PCI DSS foundation, combined with our active pursuit of SOC 2 Type II attestation, reflects a commitment to operational excellence and transparent security practices.
As we move toward our SOC 2 evaluation, our priority remains clear: earning and maintaining the trust of every customer by delivering the highest standard of data protection.
