### FLAM4 Overview

FLAM4 is a software product for vertical and lossless data compression, encryption/decryption for structured data. FLAM4 supports different data formats as well as data exchange between several operating systems including necessary character conversions.

FLAM4 is also used for long-term archiving of data.

The archived data, which are compressed and encrypted, can be accessed directly, while the read data records are decompressed and decrypted. According to this approach other stored, compressed and encrypted data of the same file are not involved and remain compressed and encrypted.

This handling makes FLAM4 100% PCI DSS compliant.
