ShieldConex is a cloud-native, vaultless Tokenization as a Service (TaaS) platform that protects payment card data (PAN), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and Protected Health Information (PHI) across multiple channels. Rather than storing sensitive data in a vault, ShieldConex replaces it with format-preserving tokens at the point of intake — before the data enters an organization's environment. This approach reduces PCI DSS scope, supports HIPAA and GDPR compliance, and minimizes breach liability. **Deployment Options:** - REST API integration - iFrame-based web implementation - FileGuard: secure batch processing of structured files (ACH, CSV, fixed-width) via SFTP, designed for legacy systems **Core Capabilities:** - Vaultless, format-preserving tokenization of payment, PII, and PHI data - Card-on-file storage, recurring billing, refunds, and omnichannel payment continuity - Batch tokenization and detokenization of structured files via FileGuard - ShieldConex Manager: a cloud-based management dashboard for configuring field templates, managing users, and tracking tokenization metrics with real-time analytics **Compliance Coverage:** - Reduces PCI DSS audit scope - Supports HIPAA compliance for PHI - Supports GDPR compliance for personal data ShieldConex is delivered as a SaaS product, requiring no hardware or on-premises infrastructure changes. It is managed through a web portal with user controls, reporting, and API/SDK access via a developer hub.
