Evidence mapping
What PRISM records against each requirement
Every plan records this evidence as your AI runs. Compliance Reports, which turn it into a reviewed, framework-mapped report, are delivered as a service, on request.
- Data kept out of logs
- Guardrails redact cardholder-data patterns before they reach a trace.
- Access control
- Projects & Team restrict who can view traces on payment-adjacent systems.
- Security testing
- Synthetic Scenarios probe for cardholder-data leakage before release.
- Incident response
- Scores & Alerts flag a redaction failure the moment it happens.

Evidence, not certification
This page describes PCI DSS’s publicly available requirements and how PRISM’s evidence layer supports them. It is not legal advice, and it does not constitute certification, regulatory approval, or a guarantee of compliance. PCI DSS compliance remains your organization’s responsibility, in consultation with qualified counsel.
